Christopher Langan

Christopher Michael Langan (born c. 1952) is an American autodidact with an IQ reported to be between 195 and 210.[1] He has been described as "the smartest man in America" by the media.[2] Langan has developed a "theory of the relationship between mind and reality" which he calls the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU)".[3][4] Biography[edit] Langan was born in San Francisco, California, and spent most of his early life in Montana. His mother was the daughter of a wealthy shipping executive but was cut off from her family; his father died or disappeared before he was born.[5] He began talking at six months, taught himself to read before he was four, and was repeatedly skipped ahead in school. Asked about creationism, Langan has said: I believe in the theory of evolution, but I believe as well in the allegorical truth of creation theory. In explaining this relationship, the CTMU shows that reality possesses a complex property akin to self-awareness. References[edit]
