A woman on TikTok has shared a theory that we never really die, freaking other users out by suggesting we might just wake up in a 'parallel universe' after we pass away.

Joli Moli (@joli.artist) often shares videos detailing 'stuff to talk about', whether it's conspiracy theories, quantum physics
In a video titled 'Apocalypse... again', Joli talked us through what's known as the quantum immortality theory, which essentially is an idea that we don't all die, and that instead our consciousness is transferred to a parallel universe.

Joli explained: "I'd like to introduce you to a little theory called the quantum immortality theory - and Hugh Everett's many worlds interpretation.
"Quantum immortality theory suggests that nobody ever actually dies, that consciousness never experiences death.
"Instead, whenever you die in one universe, your consciousness just gets transferred to a parallel universe where you survive."
Joli went on to discuss 'new mandela effects', a phenomenon which sees people remember events differently from claims made in history.

She continued: "If the quantum immortality theory is correct, you're just going to wake up in a parallel universe with no memory of the fact that you just survived an apocalyptic event.
"The only sort of hint or clue to the fact that this has happened would be new mandela effects.
"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?!' Arguing with people who are native of this new reality, talking about 'It's always had two Ts?'"

Concluding her point, Joli added: "What I'm basically implying here is that in our reality, apocalypses happened every day. 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 neighbourhood, taken us out? You think we're just that lucky, huh?
"No other super volcanic events in 65 million years? We're just out there in space just dodging asteroids by luck, right? Earth doesn't have a steering wheel.
"So what I'm saying is that Earth is probably always being taken out, and our consciousness just keeps transferred to another parallel universe - and then another one, and another one.

"For all your know the apocalypse probably already happened last night..."
The video has left many people feeling pretty uneasy, having racked up four million views on the platform, along with more than 958,000 likes.
One person commented: "Thanks I was overdue for another existential crisis."
Someone else said: "Bestie I just woke up. It's too early for this."
A third wrote: "The thought of never being able to actually die is extremely depressing and it's giving me a headache.
A fourth quipped: "Not me goggling Pizza Hut just to make sure.
Many others also noticed that Joli appeared to glitch at one point in the video, the screen suddenly becoming pixelated for a split second.
