'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."

I just analyze what the evidence and argumentation best supports, and call it the most reasonable position. It's called the rational process. You can stick to ignoring everything that doesn't have physical proof. And I will include reason in my understanding of reality and find your policy impoverishing to the intellect.

  His point of view corresponds to the religious one. Is it really necessary to have such a high IQ to understand this? After all, religious people have a normal, not a heightened intellect, and they understand this, and it is not only a matter of faith, but also a normal ability to analyze. Nothing comes from nothing but from something, which means there is an eternal Source from which universes and all living things appear. That is, when there was no universe, you lived there in the Source, and then projected yourself into our world on earth. And you will return, if not to the Source, then ... [More]

Everything in the Universe is physical.  Even consciousness is physical. Without the brain, it canno exist   You will spend the rest of your life trying to prove the improvable.

there is one thing that cant be discounted. how come people, when having NDEs NEVER interact with people who are still alive. if NDEs were all "brain chemistry", then you would expect someone to come back and say "i died and went to the light and was greeted by my son, who is still alive". you can argue about believing and "knowing" all you want. those ideas are a waste of time.

Of course I know that. Knowledge is provable.  That's what makes it knowledge. Name something in the Universe with out physicality.
