Chris Langan, often regarded as the “world’s smartest man,” has shared his intriguing thoughts on what happens after death.
With an IQ ranging between 190 and 210, Langan’s intelligence reportedly surpasses that of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. His extraordinary intellect has allowed him to explore complex ideas, including the mysteries of the afterlife.
While Langan hasn’t personally experienced death, he claims to have a clear understanding of what occurs when someone passes away.
Renowned for developing the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), Langan aims to explain the very fabric of reality with his groundbreaking theory.
According to the CTMU, reality functions as a self-configuring, self-processing language. The universe, in this framework, operates as a form of computational syntax.
To simplify this concept, Langan suggests that death represents a transition to a different dimension within this universal system.
In his view, death is not the end. Instead, it marks the beginning of a new phase of existence.
During an appearance on the Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal podcast, Langan elaborated on his ideas about death:
“That’s the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time,” he said.
“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.”
Langan also suggested that when you transition to the afterlife, you might lose awareness of who you once were.
“You can have – these memories can be – nothing goes out of existence in the math,” Langan said.
“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.”
According to Langan, after death, individuals enter a meditative state, observing change while existing in a different form.
“Now you’re basically meditating, seeing everything change. However, you exist that way right now,” he explained.
“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.”
The afterlife, as described by Langan, involves an extraordinary transformation. It takes individuals beyond their physical and mental states, offering a profound shift in their very essence of being.
