[edit] Tipler

Is the huge physics text book written (edited/published) by him?

I only remeber it as "The Tipler". --129.13.186.1 09:43, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)

No, that's another Tipler. Simon A. 14:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I dont think this warrants a special mention as the second paragraph of this article. I propose a disambig page to Tipler (name) with a list of ppl with a name of Tipler. Jayvdb 13:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I think more appropriate would be to have a disambig at Tipler, since both are approximately equally notable. Staecker 18:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Omega Point

"... according to Ellis, Tipler's book on the Omega Point is "a masterpiece of pseudoscience ... the product of a fertile and creative imagination unhampered by the normal constraints of scientific and philosophical discipline."

This is an ad hominem attack, and doesn't even begin to address any specific fallacies in the logic. A more rigorous definition of the weaknesseses in Tipler's mathematical reasoning should be included in this wiki entry. (by 82.172.82.100 10:32, 14 October 2005)
