A prediction has to involve something that can be observed and / or measured. Most of the 14 "predictions" are concerned with describing the *elements of*the theory; they aren't testable predictions that can be derived *from *the theory.
In Frank Tipler's book "The Physics of Immortality" he described a theory and made several testable predictions based on it. For example, he predicted that the mass of the Higgs boson would be around 220 GeV. Since the Higgs' mass has now been measured as around 125 GeV his theory has been shown to be wrong (well, the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe also made the Omega point somewhat harder to achieve). I would consider a "prediction" to be something similar to Tipler's. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
