'World's smartest man' says he knows exactly what happens when you die
Chris Langan has detailed what the afterlife looks like
An individual dubbed the 'world's smartest man' has detailed what happens when we die.
Chris Langan claims to have an IQ higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking thanks to a score between 190 and 210.
Langan is no doubt a very clever individual and has offered his expert view on various different topics, and he's now discussed what happens to us when we die.
Of course, the self-proclaimed world's smartest man hasn't experienced this first-hand, though he claims to know what happens when someone passes away.

Langan is renowned for his Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) thinking, which is a theory that tries to explain the nature of reality.
The theory suggests that reality is a self-configuring, self-processing language and that the universe we are apart of operates as a computational syntax.
To put it in simpler terms, it essentially means the concept of death is on a new dimension in our computer system of the universe.
So, death isn't really the end, according to Langan.
The expert discussed the concept of 'death' during an appearance 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 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 suggested you may not be able to remember who you were when you reach another dimension, aka the afterlife.
"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.”
According to Langan, you're in a state of meditation after you pass away.
"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.”
Langan went on to explain how the afterlife involves a profound shift in our entire being, moving past our physical and mental states.
