what if the ship of theseus was entirely dismantled into nonexistance in a single second, and then a literal billion years later it was remade but no one remembered that it used to be the ship of theseus and it wasnt even called the ship of theseus, it also wasn't made of the same materials the original ship was made of, and it didnt sail the route it used to, and it was missing many of the functions that it had originally had, also no one actually even knows who theseus was, and even though theseus built the original ship he doesnt even exist in this version of the universe. And also now the ship has a really bad paint job and it kind of just looks the same as every other ship and it's going to rot within 40 years or less whereas the first one was perpetual and a universal constant of sorts. Would it still be the ship of theseus?
