American Physicist Frank Tipler Outlines His "Omega Point" Hypothosis For the Existence of God and Heaven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Frank J. Tipler is a professor of mathematical physics at Tulane University, New Orleans, physicist, theologian and cornucopian philosopher.

In his controversial book The Physics of Immortality Tipler claims to prove the existence of life after death, provided by an artificial intelligence he calls the "Omega Point" and which he identifies with God. The line of argument is that scientific progress and the evolution of an intelligent population of the Universe are bound to grow exponentially and get ever better control over even the largest-scale structures of the Universe; this development ends with one nearly all-powerful artificial intelligence whose computing speed increases faster than the Universe collapses, thus providing infinite "virtual time" which will be used to resurrect everybody who ever lived by simulating him/her/it in a virtual reality.
