What possible experiment might you perform that would resolve this
issue? The main one I can think of is asking your parents about your
birth date. If your parents are called Joseph and Mary, and your
birthdate was around 4BCE, then there is some chance you might be
Jesus. Otherwise, I would say you have already done the measurement,
and are firmly living in the branch in which you aren't Jesus.
