If you'd inherited some of Caesars atoms, and went back to his time, who would get the atoms?

Question

As you probably know, living people probably have all sorts of atoms left over from dead people and animals. You know the drill: Caesar was buried, there was an apple tree in the graveyard, a horse stuck his head over the fence and ate an apple, the horse died, his body was absorbed by grass over his grave, a cow ate the grass, and this kept on going till finally YOU ate some of Julius Caesar's atoms! Now, if you went back in time to visit Caesar, who would own the atoms then?

That is, whose body would the atoms be in?

Answer 1

If I assume time travel is physically possibile, then I have no trouble assuming that identical atoms can share the same time and space. Time travel is itself a paradox, so why not accept a double paradox?

Answer 2

I guess that an atom at a certain time and the same atom a second later would in fact be two different instances of the same thing.

So by going back in time, you and Caesar would be complete because those shared atoms wouldn't be the same instances...

But that sort of stuff messes with your head :p

Answer 3

A small dog!
It does'nt realy matter if you think about if all atoms exist all the time they still will mix with others.

Answer 4

depends who was standing there
probably brutus

Answer 5

They would be decomposed into carbon.
