@ScottMacFie That's a wise statement. A critical question many evolutionists fail to ask themselves is: What is the ultimate limit to evolution? It's a question never asked because it answers itself. There exists no *a priori* limit to evolution. The only natural limit is infinity. And so mankind will grow, and grow, to infinity. We will grow to infinity because that is our purpose. We will take over all matter and transform it into computing machines. And thereby we will revise our ancestors.

If, for example, the strong nuclear force were 2% stronger than it is while the other constants were left unchanged, diprotons would be stable and hydrogen would fuse into them instead of deuterium and helium. This would drastically alter the physics of stars, and preclude the existence of life on Earth. The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life on earth.

Doesn't have to be finely tuned if you just try all possible combinations. There are likely an infinite amount of universes where there's no life whatsoever and so no consciousness to marvel at it's ability to support life. If a tree in a forest falls but no one hears it, did it fall? Yes but if no one heard it there's no way to say it did. If no one can observe these empty universes do they exist? Yes but they are just dead.

@@themonsterbaby You don't understand what he is saying-it is simpler than that and completely impossible to argue with. It is self-evident, and what Carl Sagan meant when he said, "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." The universe refers to all of spacetime, but also all the matter in it. Life is inanimate matter reorganized, through thermodynamic (dissipative) evolution and biological evolution, into a complex adaptive system that can experience the world through consciousness. Saying the universe is becoming conscious through intelligent life (us) couldn't be a truer statement-this does not mean the *entire* universe is conscious, or conscious at some other level than life. No, it is not; the point merely is that life, you and I, our experience-we are the matter of the universe come to life. So as life evolves, and spreads into space, mind is literally spreading through the universe. Inanimate matter is being converted into matter capable of experience. It's a very simple and obvious, almost tautological, idea but it is very powerful.

In an Infinite Multiverse where all possibilities must exist, it is illogical to then doubt that God exists. My only problem with this is that there must be an infinitely large number of Gods - unless of course he is outside of the Multiverse, But then that proposition contradicts my first point. I was an only child and I used to have amazing conversations with my father, at least for a young child to engage in. He introduced me to the concept of infinity. At 8 years old, without direction from my father, I realised that in an infinite realm I would have not one or a few but an infinite number of Me's in this realm, and that they would be aware of me too. Since then I have never felt truly lonely.

The reason for that is because that is dependent on the actions of intelligent life. The Omega Point TOE provides the mechanism for the universe's collapse via baryon annihilation, which gives the ideal rocket propulsion.

@zassounotsukushi No, due to life eliminating event horizons, Bekenstein's Bound allows entropy to diverge to infinity. Entropy is informational complexity: S/(ln(2)*k) = I, where S is entropy, ln is the natural logarithm, k is Boltzmann's constant in J/K, and I is bits. In other words, the computer memory space diverges to infinity. At the same time, processor speed diverges to infinity, because the time it takes a signal (such as a photon) to traverse the universe is continously decreasing.

It is in no way observable nor consistent with the natural principles of the universe or how matter and energy behaves, being a subjective human emotion. Saying that people who do not use 'faith' as a means to find truth are "offended" or "frightened" by truth isn't an argument, it's an unsupported and false assertion. Therefore irrational.

Wow, he just "proved" that the Judean-Christian god is the "Omega-point" of our known universe. He believes that we will go to this place when we die, and be part of infinite knowledge and communication. Hence we can be resurrected to observe the future of the universe including the final destruction of our earth. This is totally crazy. Likely he read too much biblical stuff when he was a kid, before he got interested in physics and relativity.

+Andrew Lohbihler On the contrary, he thinks god and the simulation theory are the same thing. They are parallel. - Copied from another comment cause I'm lazy- ...Due to infinity, an intelligence that has a computational computer able to simulate your entire body. Every atom in this exact state, will eventually be possible. So, when that simulation happens to simulate you, in this exact moment in time, you SNAP to reality and ride the coat tails of THAT reality, wherever it takes you. In one, you're Andrew Lohbihler, in one, you're a defense attorney, in another, a sadistic murderer. If your EXACT body is simulated, EVERY atom, in the exact state (which we agree is possible so therefore likey..) Would that be you? Who would that simulation be?

No he just read Issac Asimov's short Story The Last Question, written in 1956, and highly praised by Sci-Fi fans. Tipler read it as a kid. Read it yourself, (it short), it is exactly the same story as Tipler's theory, only Tipler presents it as reality. Yikes.

unless we live in a closed universe, in which the universe will eventually collapse. Which is exactly what Tipler is saying.........try listening to the talk text time.

Watch Richard Krauss and see which of these two guys seems more credible.

@asphixa Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been published in a number of the world's leading peer-reviewed physics journals. Even NASA itself has peer-reviewed it and found it correct according to the known laws of physics with his invited paper "Ultrarelativistic Rockets and the Ultimate Future of the Universe", NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Workshop Proceedings, Jan. 1999, pp. 111-119. No refutation of it exists within the peer-reviewed scientific literature, or anywhere else.

I'm with BronyEditor. Vast respect for his past work, but he seems to have watched one too many Star Trek episodes...
