People Have New Fear Unlocked After Woman Shares Theory That We Never Really Die

A TikToker has shared her theory on why we never really die, and it’s leaving people quite spooked.

You know that feeling after a night out, when you go back to a friend’s house and stay up until the early hours, talking about random and slightly bizarre ideas.

Or experiences so much that you feel like you’re in an alternate reality and start questioning the meaning of life? No? Just me?

Well, one woman didn’t wait until 4 am after a particularly heavy night to voice her theory about whether we ever truly die. 

Not many people actually want to die. Some believe in heaven or the afterlife, while others are unsure about what happens next.

That uncertainty can be terrifying.

However, the idea of living forever, with your back and hips getting even worse, and your memory fading even more, doesn’t really appeal either.

The question of life and living forever has led to people thinking about topics like quantum immortality.

In simple terms, it means that people never die, but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that. 

The theory suggests that people’s consciousness never actually dies.

It means we might have lived through countless apocalypses and extinction events. 

This idea can fuel your existential dread for months. So, with that in mind, let’s learn a bit more about it, shall we? 

Many people have explained the theory, but we’re going to focus on TikTok user @joli.artist.

She discussed the idea of quantum immortality, as well as American physicist Hugh Everett’s ‘many worlds’ theory. 

Everett suggested that there are countless other worlds and realities, and when we die, we simply transfer to another one of those.

In her TikTok video, Joli suggested that there’s a chance we ‘never really die’ and could have experienced the world ending numerous times before. 

"Whenever you die in one universe, your consciousness just gets transferred into another universe where you survive," she said.

In a nutshell, that is the idea here. Of course, it’s more complicated than that. 

It involves a lot of math and science, but we’re working on a word count here, and honestly, it’s really quite difficult and boring in truth.

Joli explained how, if there’s anything to this theory, we wouldn’t remember the previous world that we switched over to.

But we might have some basic recollections, much like the Mandela Effect. 

"So after the inevitable apocalypse occurs, you're going to wake up the next day in a new reality,"

"..and the next thing you know, you're going to find yourself on Reddit talking about 'since when did Pizza Hut have two Ts?' " she explained. 

Joli added: "You don’t believe me? Okay, it’s been about 65 million years since the asteroids allegedly took out the dinosaurs.

So you mean to tell me that in the last 65 million years, no other asteroids have come through the neighborhood and taken us out?"

"What I'm saying is that Earth is probably always being taken out, and our consciousness just keeps transferring to another parallel universe - and then another one, and another one.

For all you know, the apocalypse probably already happened last night..."

The TikToker explained how we might have already lived through the apocalypse TikTok/@joli.artist

Anyway, the very idea of this has some people’s heads spinning. "BYE NOT TODAY," said one comment. 

"Ok, I’m actually kind of freaking out right now coz I’m not the conspiracy typa guy, but you’re like eerily making sense," said another. 

"The thought of never being able to actually die is extremely depressing, and it’s giving me a headache,” a third added. Yep, you can just rock me to sleep tonight.
