Smartest man in the world with 210 IQ shares what he thinks happens after we die
Langan has developed a hypothesis called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), which he says ‘explains the connection between mind and reality.’
He believes that when we die, we transition from one form of being to another within the computational structure of reality, meaning the consciousness, or ‘soul,’ moves to another dimension or plane of existence we cannot access while alive.
It’s not clear what that new dimension would look like, or what happens to the ‘soul’ once it arrives there. But Langan believes traditional views of heaven and hell are too simplistic, whereas his theory posits a transition to an entirely new state of being.
Langan explained his concept of death during an appearance on the podcast Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal in May.
He said death is ‘The termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time. When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality.

The man hailed as the “smartest in the world”, Chris Langan, with an IQ claimed to be between 190 and 210, has offered his insights on the afterlife. The American rancher, known for developing the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), believes that death isn’t the end.
His CTMU, which he describes as a type of “mathematical metaphysics”, is said to mathematically prove the existence of God, the soul, and an afterlife, according to the Mirror. Langan’s theory suggests reality is a “self-configuring, self-processing language” and proposes that death might simply be a shift in the “syntax” of existence, hinting at a transition to another dimension, as reported by LadBible.

On the Theories of Everything podcast with Curt Jaimungal, Langan compared death to shedding one’s physical form rather than an absolute end.

He explained: “That’s the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time.
“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 has aired some mind-twisting ideas about the afterlife, hinting that when we shift to what he calls a different “dimension,” our memories of this life might fade away. Speaking about the meditative nature of existence after death, he claims: “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?”
The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe or CTMU (pronounced “cat-mew”[1]) is the first self-simulation theory of the relationship between mind and reality. Its author, Christopher Michael Langan, has been billed as “the smartest man in America”, with an IQ reported by 20/20 and other media sources to have been measured at around 195.[2] Langan created the CTMU in the mid-1980s while working as a bar bouncer on Long Island. Among his claims for the theory are that it constitutes absolute truth, provides the logical framework of a Theory of Everything, and proves the existence of God.
