I did not mean to say that Tipler's work has no value, only that the
last two popular books he has written, including Physics and Christianity, did not resonate well with a lot of scientists.

Like I said, he could be a far-seeing genius for all I know. But please
don't start defending Tipler against me or something similar like that.
I am not emotionally interested enough in the topic to defend it one
way or the other much.

What should matter is that his idea is a simple enough one to do and
I hope someone will do it very soon. One Universe or many - that is
as an important a question as extraterrestrial life, maybe even more,
because it may answer how the Universe was made.
