'World's smartest man' offers theory on what happens when we die

72-year-old Chris Langan is considered something of a genius thanks to his IQ of between 190 and 210.
Officially considered to be the world's smartest man, Langan has been using his superior intellect to develop what he calls the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU).

He maintains that when we die, we transition from one form to another, or in other words, we move to a different plane of existence that we are unable to access during life.

"[Death is the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time," he said on the Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal podcast.

"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."

When this happens, he argues, you may lose all memory of who you were previously.

"Nothing goes out of existence in the math," he said.
"Your memories can always be pulled back out, but there's no reason to do that usually."

"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 also suggests that we may reincarnate a limitless number of times.

"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."

You can listen to the interview for yourself below.

IQ is an indicator for a possible potential of a given person, its not some magical thing that makes you all knowledgeable just because. My BIL has a 150 IQ (or was something close to 150) and works in McD and thinks my Echo is spying on him and blames everyone for his failures. The guy seems like he he is not using even half of his IQ.

The human equivalent to chat GTP And not in a good way.

None of it is plausible. We already know what happens when we die.  We are dead. No brain function at all. We don't forget.  We just cease to exist as life forms. Birth is the beginning...death is the end.  It's really pretty simple actually.

There is nothing about this guy that makes him the smartest man in the world. He is a con man / grifter. He is literally just some guy claiming to be super smart yet has no professional accomplishments, no academic degrees, no published works, or anything beyond this video.

I'm not impressed with his take. To best understand the afterlife, we need to consider all the real-world Afterlife Evidence and the input of masters/clairvoyants that perceive beyond the physical.

If only they were real and not fakes. Only then could we consider any of their evidence. Until then, it will just be classed as fraudulent hogwash. For a reason.

They are certainly not faking anything and are consistently saying similar things. And they provide an explanatory model for the Afterlife Evidence I mentioned above where current science can give us little more than denial and 'no clue' for explaining these phenomena.

When we die we are still part of the universe. When buried or cremated we become particles within the earth and the air. So in some respects, we are reincarnated but in a different form.
