You can’t prove that your neighbor is conscious. It’s the old “zombies hypothesis” from Philosophy Of Consciousness 101.

Since we're talking about consciousness right now - doesn't that mean it must have at least some impact on the physical world for our physical selves to even know about it? Just from that, I don't see how it's conceivable something could be physically identical if it lacks consciousness.
