A TikToker has shared her chilling theory that suggests we might never truly die, and it’s leaving the internet thoroughly spooked.
Ever found yourself deep in conversation after a night out, discussing theories that challenge everything you know about life and reality? Well, one woman has taken to TikTok to share her unsettling thoughts on death and immortality at a time that wasn’t the wee hours of the morning.
She delves into the complexity of what happens after we die—a subject that many find terrifying due to its uncertainty. Some believe in an afterlife or heaven, while others are left pondering the disturbing thought of nothingness. However, the idea of living indefinitely, battling an ever-aging body and fading memory, isn’t particularly appealing either.
This conversation brings us to the topic of ‘quantum immortality’, a theory suggesting that our consciousness never really perishes. In fact, it posits that we might have already lived through numerous global disasters and extinction-level events.
Intrigued yet? Let’s dive deeper into this eerie concept.
A TikTok user known as @joli.artist has become a central voice in discussing this theory online. She references the work of American physicist Hugh Everett, who proposed the ‘many worlds’ theory. This theory suggests the existence of countless alternate realities, and posits that upon death, our consciousness might simply transfer to another one of these realities.
According to Joli’s video, “Whenever you die in one universe, your consciousness just gets transferred into another universe where you survive.”
While the theory involves complex scientific and mathematical concepts—which frankly can be both difficult and tedious to parse through—the gist is that our existence may be a continuous loop of transferring consciousness across different realities.
Joli further explains the potential implications of this theory: “So after the inevitable apocalypse occurs, you’re going to wake up the next day in a new reality, and the next thing you know, you’re going to find yourself on Reddit talking about ‘since when did Pizza Hut have two Ts?’”
This discussion can lead to bizarre debates with people who have always known their reality a certain way.
Joli provocatively adds, “You don’t believe me? Okay, it’s been about 65 million years since the asteroids allegedly took out the dinosaurs. So you mean to tell me that in the last 65 million years, no other asteroids have come through the neighborhood and taken us out?”
“What I’m saying is that Earth is probably always being taken out, and our consciousness just keeps transferring to another parallel universe – and then another one, and another one. For all you know the apocalypse probably already happened last night…”
As you can imagine, this theory has left many feeling unnerved.
“BYE NOT TODAY,” commented one viewer, clearly overwhelmed.
“Ok, I’m actually kind of freaking out right now coz I’m not the conspiracy typa guy, but you’re like eerily making sense,” shared another.
“The thought of never being able to actually die is extremely depressing, and it’s giving me a headache,” lamented a third.
So, as we try to wrap our heads around this daunting concept, perhaps it’s best to just tuck ourselves in and hope for a less complicated tomorrow.
