There is a famous problem in philosophy called the Ship of Theseus.

Suppose there is a ship named "Theseus" that has been sailing at sea for hundreds of years. The ship is constantly repaired and parts are replaced during the voyage.As soon as a board rotted, it was replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts were no longer the original ones.

So is the resulting ship still the same ship?

If it wasn't the original ship, then at what point did it stop being the original ship?

If a new ship is built using the old parts taken from the ship of Theseus, which of the two ships is the real ship of Theseus?

This is a classic paradox.

At this time, Dumbledore was also facing a similar paradox.

Remy made the principle of the Resurrection Stone very clear. It does not bring the soul of the person who was alive in the past to the present and transform it into a ghost, but copies the information left by that person on the past timeline to the present. In a ghost.

So is this ghost still the ghost of the dead person?

If yes, but all its information is copied.

If not, they are exactly the same, and the original remains in the past, and there is only one of it now.

If only what is made up of original parts is the real one, and copies cannot be counted, then the problem returns to the paradox of the Ship of Theseus.

There is an extension paradox of the Ship of Theseus paradox - the human body is always metabolizing, and at a very fast rate.

Every day, the cells that make up the human body are replicating and dying!

Every six to seven years, all cells in the human body are completely replaced!

If only the original parts are the real person, then that person will no longer be himself the next second because his body has changed.

Therefore, Remy himself has no answer to the question of whether the ghost resurrected using this resurrection stone is the ghost of the person he wants to resurrect.

This is a matter of opinion and depends purely on personal understanding.

In fact, Remy also hesitated to raise this issue. If he didn't say it, Dumbledore wouldn't need to worry about it and he would definitely be very happy.

But Remy always felt that with Dumbledore's ability, he might one day discover something was wrong, and if he found out at that time, Dumbledore would be even more entangled. It would be better to tell him from the beginning and let him think clearly.

"I know this problem can easily overload the pig brain, but one advantage of resurrection based on this principle is that even if the person you want to be resurrected is absolutely impossible to become a ghost - such as dying from the death curse - use This resurrection stone can also resurrect it as a ghost," Remy said.

"is it?"

Dumbledore came back from his confusion, his eyes were extremely complex.

"Is there really no way to completely resurrect it? Since you can resurrect dead information into ghosts, then you can go one step further and resurrect the ghosts..."

"It's impossible." Remy immediately shook his head decisively: "A ghost is not a living creature. Transforming into a ghost does not cross the boundary between life and death. The boundary between life and death cannot be crossed, I am very sure of this!"

The boundary between life and death cannot be crossed, this is the conclusion Remy has reached through practice.

That alchemy was the most special alchemy Remy had ever encountered. At that time, Remy clearly felt that the reason for the failure was not that the cost was not enough, but that the effect he wanted to achieve was simply impossible to achieve!

For the first time, Remy clearly felt the cause of failure in the alchemy process.

The price Remy paid after that refining—that is, the magic crystal and magic power—exploded before being integrated into the Horcrux, and exploded outside the Horcrux!

Fortunately, it exploded outside the Horcrux. At that time, Remy forcibly controlled part of the magic power at the critical moment, and at the expense of it, he alchemized the Resurrection Stone twice to create the enhanced version of the Resurrection Stone.

If the second alchemy had not successfully consumed that part of the magic power, then the earthquake would definitely not be as "slight" as just six or a few points.

In order to strengthen the successful resurrection stone in one step, Remy spent all his wealth!

"Can't you cross it..." Dumbledore murmured, his eyes slightly absent-minded.

His fingers gently touched every pattern on the ring and every edge on the Resurrection Stone. Dumbledore slowly came to his senses and gently placed the ring on the table.

"You put it away first. I may ask you to borrow it in the future... maybe not." Dumbledore sighed and said, "To be honest, my mind is a little messed up right now, and I can't even stay rational and calm."

"Okay." Remy nodded and took back the ring: "By the way, you need to prepare a medium to use this resurrection stone. It is best to use the other person's body tissue, such as bones, nails, and hair. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. Use the medium that the other person wore for many years during his lifetime. Items and the blood of relatives can also be used to locate the person."

"I understand. If one day I decide, I will prepare the medium in advance and ask you for help... By the way, is there any price to pay for using this resurrection stone?" Dumbledore asked.

"It will consume some magic power. I don't know the exact amount. I was called over before I could do the experiment."

Speaking of this, Remy suddenly became energetic.

"By the way, Principal Dumbledore, how about we go to Azkaban to find Death Eaters to test the function of the Resurrection Stone?" Remy suggested.

Looking for a Death Eater to experiment with the Resurrection Stone?

Didn't it say that this resurrection stone can only be used on dead people?

Is it possible...

Dumbledore looked at Remy's expectant eyes and suddenly realized: "You are going to help the Death Eaters resurrect the people they care about in order to influence them, right? I'll think about it, and I need to discuss this matter with Minister Fudge to get him approval."

"Uh..." Remy turned his head slightly embarrassed: "Actually, I wanted to go to Azkaban and quietly kill a few Death Eaters and use them for experiments."

Dumbledore:  …

I am so special!

Can you save me some trouble? !

My mind is already messed up enough, so why don't you make it more confusing, okay?

"Remy, I think it is necessary to hire a professor in charge of etiquette at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to teach you skills in speaking and dealing with others, and to increase your emotional intelligence." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"My emotional intelligence is not low, I'm just more honest." Remy chuckled: "But it's true for you, when I was tactful, you were always worried that I wouldn't do good things; now that I am honest with you, you are Say I have no emotional intelligence."

"Okay, I apologize to you. You should be as diplomatic as before." Dumbledore rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Anyway, I don't think I can stop you from doing anything you really want to do."

"How could it be? I am the model student who listens to you the most in the school!" Remy said.

You are a model hammer!

The Weasley twins make me worry less than you!

After giving Remy an annoyed look, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.

"Let's get down to business. Which house are you going to next school year? Slytherin?"
