I still don’t think that any two snowflakes, even if almost identical, can ever be exactly alike, nor can anything, for the reason I stated above. Even if one thing was a clone, the fact that it is sitting/falling/landed a sixteenth of an inch to the left or right of the other, that is in and of itself an “environmental factor” involving the minutest of differences, whether it be temperature, solidity of surface, or simply the breeze. And nothing is created/born/made at exactly the same time, so the environmental factors, including time bearing on the thing, would be different, if even slightly. Because it is a “different thing” by definition, it cannot be exactly the same. Not clones, not twins, not the 2nd or hundredth pressing of a CD from the same original source of music file.
For the same reason, I don’t think two different things can ever become exactly alike, no matter what happens to them, because they are still two different things.
