Is it possible for someone to look like your twin, but be of no relation?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean? But if you are wanting to know similarities and that it depends on if they are identical or not. Some twins can have everything in common and look a like and some have nothing in common and don't look a like and just because they are identical doesn't mean that they will act alike as well. Twins are born at the same time yes but they are there own person if you get what I'm saying. My mom is a identical twin her and her sister hate each other and have nothing in common except they both lie. Twins also run every generation her her side of the family.

A clone genetically is no different than an identical twin. Both the clone and the original person come from the same DNA. The only difference is that the clone will be younger than the original person, as they were created later. All the same nature vs nurture principles apply to the clone as they do to any person or set of identical twins. Your environment has a lot to do with shaping your personality. Twins (and clones) personalities may be similar in many ways, but they will never be identical. Neither will live their lives having the exact same experiences or thinking the exact same way. A clone would have their own "soul" (if that is the term you like to use) as much as two twins have their own separate souls. Identical twins are nature's clones.

absolutely. Geminis are the twins. This represents the way their personalities can be one or the other in the drop of a hat. They are not really dual personalities, rather the same personality that can change to reflect the situation they are in or not. My sister is a PERFECT Gemini! One minute she is nice and sweet and the next she is screaming at the top of her lungs cuz someone made her mad.

Ok this is really tricky. This is not any ordinary boy; this is someone that is identical to you. It happens to a lot to twins to feel confusion, and feel sameness, I don't know how much you dress alike or if you feel that you are struggling to feel different and to create a separate identity. If your relationship is very close and you feel a strong bond, that means that on some level you and your brother are one and this act is a statement from him that he feels that you are an extension of him. I can't say that this is harmless, since I don't know much of your relationship with you brother. \n\nThis would not be the only case of touching and experimenting among twins, since on some level when twins have not reached a separate psychological identity they can feel that touching their twin is the same as touching themselves.\n\nNow the first thing to do is to see what is really behind this touching. If you feel in some way that your brother by touching you is saying you belong to him, this might happen again, and if it is something that you do not want, then you should talk about it or find a way to make it clear that it was not okay and begin to establish clear boundaries of what is you and what is him.

Yes it is possible, in fact it is only pure coincidence, also you can have a double, a person who look exactly like you and was born in another country very far from us..☺

No.\n\nNo one can "read" another person's mind in some sort of telepathic sense. There is no physical mechanism for carrying information from one brain to another in such a fashion. (And while there are certainly unknown phenomena, this one would have to impart essentially zero energy in order to remain undetected. Which means there is no energy to create an effect.)\n\nSometimes people, not just twins, can appear to answer each other's questions or guess what the other person is supposed to do. But this just comes from living with the person and knowing their behavior.\n\nStories of one twin knowing what happened to another 2,000 miles away are a combination of coincidence and urban legend.

sure, but that doesn't mean that the child is going to be exactly me.  We are formed by our environments, if I get a lot of sun that may mean that I am going to have a lot of moles and freckles, but my clone wouldn't.  The clone also would probably eat a lot better than I did when I was little, so they would develop better than I did, meaning that they could end up taller, fatter, bustier, and all that.  \nI am also unique by the childhood that I have, many of my ideas and mental characteristics were formed due to my upbringing but my clone would not have the same upbringing, so they may be much smarter or dumber than I or they may be republican, I don't know.

A 'person' is identical to another 'person' if both consciousnesses encode the same information and follow the same process of consciousness, with the same sensory input.\n\nImagine instead of changing hair colour, the genetic change is a single nucleotide on a part of your DNA that has no effect on the functioning of your brain (literally no effect), then you as a person would theoretically develop exactly the same information in your brain, and your brain would function exactly the same, and your senses would be exactly the same, so you would be identical people.\n\nInterestingly, if you were a geneticist and examined the sequence of your own DNA, and looked at the nucleotide that is different (say G vs. T), then at that instant, your mind would no longer be identical to your 'other self's' mind, although they would be very very similar. And again, continuity has nothing to do with it.\n\n've also heard this 'Doppleganger theory'. I don't think that it it likely for the following reason: It is assumed that if we take a given individual and contrast that with the number of people on the planet that statistically speaking there should be a person who looks the same. However, this theory says a bit more than that- it says that every individual has a twin. So if you thought that a single person having a twin was unlikely, then just imagine the probablity that everyone has a twin.\n\nIn any case so what if we have a twin? I'm not sure that it would make any real difference to our lives. Moreover, if by twin we mean someone who looks like you then how precise does that similarity need to be? After all, they may have the same facial features as me, but they might have a different skin-colour, or maybe they have one leg shorter than the other.

No you could  not have 4 identical twins.  Twins are two babies born at once.  at conception the egg splits and makes twins they share the exact same DNA there for can not go to prison based on DNA evidence.  On the other hand it is very very rare that you would get quadruplets that are identical but it is possible.  If they are all the same sex it may be the case.  I have a relative who has 2 sets of twins 10 months apart and they all look identical however they are not as it is impossible.  Hope this helps.  I come from a family with 17 sets of twins.  They say that it skips a generation however that is not always the case.

yes!  the only difference is finger prints (isn't that odd)\n\nlet me clarify: identical twins have the same DNA

I don't think so.  I live in a city where someone has the exact same name as myself.  In fact, we even share the same Dr & Dentist (amazing in a city of 53K).  Truthfully it's more of a pain than anything else.
