Abstract: Following the idea of quantum cloning (arxiv:0511088), we give a physically natural definition of cloning in context of classical mechanics using symplectic geometry, building on work of Fenyes (arXiv:1010.6103). We observe, following Fenyes, any system with phase space $(mathbb{R}^{2N},d{x}_{i}wedged{y}_i)$ can be cloned in our definition. We show that if $(M,omega)$ can be cloned in our definition, then $M$ must be contractible. For instance, this shows the simple pendulum cannot be cloned in Hamiltonian mechanics. Finally we discuss some further questions, and give a mathematical precise formulation of ``what is the minimal amount of energy required to perform a cloning.
