One of the greatest mysteries yet to be solved concerns what lies beyond life—what happens after death. This profound question has fascinated and puzzled mankind since ancient times, spawning countless theories, beliefs, and explanations. Every branch of knowledge research, from science to religion, has attempted to grapple with this question, but the answer remains elusive. In addition to various explanations for what happens after death, the “world’s smartest man” also revealed his beliefs about this age-old question.
Chris Langon, a 72-year-old American horse breeder, is said to have an IQ between 190 and 210. 30 to 50 points higher.
Langone proposed a new hypothesis called Cognitive theoretical model of the universe (CTMU). CTMU considers reality to be a “self-configuring, self-processing language,” and Langan suggests that death may represent a shift in the “grammar” of existence.
According to Langone, the theory explains “the connection between the mind and reality.” His theory is that when humans die, we transition from one form of existence to another. All of this happens within realistic computing structures. Our souls enter a different plane of existence that remains invisible to us while we are alive.
How this new dimension will come to be is unclear, but Langon believes that traditional beliefs in hell and heaven are too simplistic, while Langon posits a transition to an entirely new state of existence. In May of this year, Langone proposed his theory on the podcast “The Theory of Everything” with Curt Jaimungal.
“Langan describes death as simply leaving your body behind, rather than ceasing to exist,” Langan explained in the podcast. “It’s the end of your relationship with the particular body you currently have,” he said. He further said: “When you retreat from this reality, you return to the origin of reality. You can be provided with an alternative body, another terminal body that allows you to continue to exist.”
Langone describes this other dimension by saying that when the soul is transported there, it forgets what body it was in before it came here. “You can have—these memories can—mathematically there is nothing that doesn’t exist.” There are certain automatic psychological processes that are triggered when you die. It is believed that people enter a meditative-like state after death. Adding that in this state everything is observed as it changes, just as one exists in the present moment.
When it comes to the afterlife, Langon thinks it’s “a whole other story.” It involves a profound transformation, moving the “soul” or consciousness outside the body and mind. For him, God is not necessarily something that rules “heaven”, rather the word God is given to everything as an identifier of certain attributes we see around us.
To sum up, the Cognitive Theory Model of the Universe (CTMU) has three main assumptions. First, reality is made up of messages structured by language. The second assumes that reality is “across time,” allowing events in one timeline to influence events in other timelines. The third assumption is that our self-simulated reality contains the “base” of this information – the “pan-consciousness” of the creator or the simulator itself.
