'Smartest man in the world with 210 IQ' says he knows what happens after we die

One popular theory regarding the afterlife has been proposed by the smartest man in the world, as he has used his 210 IQ to come up with a hypothesis that uses math to explain it all.

Many intellectuals have tried to explain what happens after we die, as MIT scientists and even the Pentagon have provided their own theories on the afterlife.

Some have even given personal accounts of 'heaven' and an 'inner self' after the body stops existing, in rare scenarios where you can technically die and come back to life shortly after.

The smartest man in the world has his own theories though, which have now become recognized by many and backed up within the realm of math and science.

Estimated to have an IQ between 195 and 210, Chris Langan is considered to be one of the smartest men on Earth, and his Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe (otherwise known as the CTMU) attempts to concretely explain what happens after we die.

According to the CTMU 'beginner's introduction', the theory is based on the existence of 'information' as the rudimental material form, and that this information exists as 'conscious perception' in perpetuity.

"It follows that reality contains all of the conditions necessary for its own existence," the guide explains, "Its mere possibility is enough to ensure that it generates itself. It is sort of like a self-executing algorithm that generates the mind in which the algorithm itself is known."

This 'all-knowing mind' is then assumed to be the role of God, who collects and contains the consciousness and minds of all of us even after we die.

What happens when we die then and our minds cease to function? Thankfully the theory has an answer:

"Reality itself is a self-refining informational system which, due to its form, cannot NOT exist.

"Even if there is nothingness, this system with exist and know itself and all of the localized conscious minds within its creation process will experience its informational structure as real, physical, etc."

If you're not quite following along - which we're certainly not blaming you for - this theory proposes that, through information, our existence would shift into a separate reality instead of ending completely - like a heaven almost but a pool of consciousness that remains self-informing within the mind of God.

It does appear that the theory isn't always the most convincing to those on social media, which an interview on the Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal YouTube channel has shown.

Langan spends the 10 minute interview going over the CTMU, yet many in the comments still can't quite grasp what he's going on about.

"Do you think he realizes that he never came close to even beginning to describe any theory of reality?" questions one user, whereas another points out that "this whole video is like describing an ornate door in detail, but never actually opening it."

Of course, the nature of theories like these is that they're in-depth, complex, and have been developed over decades, but many are still justifiably left struggling to actually comprehend what the CTMU means in the grand scheme of things.
