You means before he went completely nuts. Today Tipler says we should look for divine DNA on the Shroud of Turin and check for radiation around the tomb of the Blessed Virgin Marry that was caused by an intense beam of neutrinos that must have shot out of the bottom of her feet as she ascended into heaven. > has proposed exactly this "resurrection" as a a computer process, in the > far future, and basically faced this ostracism, and still does, > I read his book "The Physics of Immortality" back in 1992 and at the time I thought it was pretty good, but it has not stood the test of time. Tipler made a number of predictions he said that if even one of his predictions turned out to be wrong his entire theory was dead in the water so his entire theory is dead in the water: *Tippler predicted the universe was closed but we now know that not only is it open but its accelerating. *Tipler predicted that the Higgs boson must be at 220GEV +- 20 but we now know its 125.3GEV +- .5 . *Tipler predicted that the Hubble constant must be less than or equal to 45 but we now know its 67.8 +- .77 .
