Since others have already covered the physics side of things:
Your problem here is mostly with using confused notions of things like “conciousness”, “real”, “expect” and “self”. As you level up starts grokking thinking in terms of the measure of computations across the tegmark multiverse and the like, these kind of problems will naturally dissolve. (and be replaced by new arguably much worse unrelated ones)

Could you elaborate? On the new unrelated problems.
