It pretty clearly worked, son. You wrote mad salty paragraphs.

is it possible that an exact replica of our conciousness could function as a continuation of ones life?
because intuitively I want to say no, but logically what would be the difference between how it happens now

I guess so long as the electrical and chemical impulses making up your thought processes stay continuous you're as good as you can be. Uploading your brain patterns to a computer or a clone is clearly a copy and not a continuation. Teleportation is just cloning with extra steps. I'd be more worried about falling asleep. Your brain doesn't stop but is that really you waking up?
