The Physics of Immortality
"... I believe that the omega-point theory deserves to become the
prevailing theory of the future of spacetime ..."
--physicist David Deutsch, Oxford University, on
page 355 of his book The Fabric of Reality (Penguin 1997)
"... Let me just say that I think big pieces of Frank's argument are
brilliant and beautifully done. But it is in the leaky joints between the
pieces where I think the problems lie with Frank's theory. ..."

"Besides being fascinating in its bold proclamations, this is, in fact, a
very weighty book, filled with complex ideas and sophisticated results. ...
Tipler has written a masterpiece for the Age of Aquarius, conferring
much-craved scientific respectability on what we have always wanted to
believe in. ..."

" ... The Physics of Immortality is, in short, an utterly extraordinary
piece of work. Setting out to be a popular book, and largely succeeding
thanks to its vigorous English, it still manages to be one which only a
very few will understand at all completely. ... As for me, I found it
fascinating.
Philosopher John Leslie, writing in London
Review of Books 23 March 1995, page 8.
"Perhaps Tipler's most important contribution [in Physics of Immortality]
is his insistence that the world as described by physics is more open to
interaction with biblical and theological perspectives than is often
believed.
Theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg, writing in
Zygon, vol. 30, June 1995 page 309.
