From Plutarch:

Scenario: Imagine an ancient wooden ship called "The Ship of Theseus." The vessel is kept seaworthy for a very long time through constant repairs and replacement parts. As soon as one board becomes worn, it is immediately replaced.

Question: If the parts of the ship are constantly replaced, is there a point where the end product is no longer the same "Ship of Theseus" or is it something completely new and different? (for ex: all parts replaced)
