A man known for his exceptional intelligence, often referred to as the ‘world’s smartest man,’ has shared his thoughts on what happens after death.
Chris Langan, whose IQ is said to be between 190 and 210, surpassing even that of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, has provided his perspective on the subject.
Recognized for his profound intellect, Langan has addressed numerous topics through his expert lens, and now he has turned his attention to the mystery of death.
Although he hasn’t experienced death himself, Langan asserts that he understands what occurs when life ceases.
Langan is well-known for developing the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), a conceptual framework that attempts to unravel the nature of reality.
This theory posits that reality functions as a self-configuring, self-processing language, with the universe operating as a kind of computational syntax.
In simpler terms, this means that death represents a transition to a new dimension within our universe’s computational framework.
According to Langan, death does not signify an absolute end.
He elaborated on this concept during a discussion on the Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal podcast.
“That’s the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time,” he noted.
“When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality.
“You can be provided with a substitute body, another kind of terminal body that allows you to keep on existing.”
Upon reaching this new dimension, often referred to as the afterlife, Langan suggests one might not retain memories of their past identity.
“You can have – these memories can be – nothing goes out of existence in the math,” Langan continued.
“Your memories can always be pulled back out, but there’s no reason to do that usually, OK?
“Why cling to memories of a world in which you are no longer instantiated?
“So, there are certain automatic psychological things that happen on death, at the moment of death.”
Langan believes that after death, individuals enter a state akin to meditation.
“Now you’re basically meditating, seeing everything change. However, you exist that way right now,” he added.
“Arguably, all of your lifetimes, if you were to be reincarnated again and again and again, all of those reincarnations are meta-simultaneous.
“There is a sense in which they all occur at once in the non-terminal domain.”
In his view, the afterlife signifies an extensive transformation beyond our current physical and mental existence.
