Totally diappointing GARBAGE. Save your money.

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018

Wish I could give it ZERO stars. I heard about this book and thought, "GREAT, as a Christian, I will have some fun using physics to support my faith to others and this book will layout how to do it." NOT....First of all, I don't know who this guy is, but he is NOT an author. His rambling is incoherent, and I don't say that because I don't understand higher math or physics, I say this because the guy cannot write. He makes logical leaps that he probably understands, but doesn't take time to explain to the reader. I think the biggest disappointment is he chooses his own definitions of things like "God", "immorality", and "resurrection". If you are a Christian looking for an interesting scientific take on faith, look elsewhere.

Like a previous reviewer mentioned, the author is doing a disservice to both faith and physics.

Fascinating book that makes a certain kind of sense. The calculus gets a little deep, so if you don't have a math background (I do) you can skip those parts and still get a lot out of it. I had read it before from the library and wanted a copy of my own. I got more out if it the second read through.

Physics

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2014

Dr Tipler, he tries to explain a very complex study of quantum physics and break it down for the laymen. He does not state heaven, hell, only the viability of immortality as stated in quantum physics.
One needs to read his work at least 2x. Once to get a feel, the other for more in-depth after one can grasp the material he presented. At the end he present over 150 p of math for the professional scientist or those who have advance classes in math.\
His work is ground breaking and in some aspects controversial in the sense all new theories are controversial.

It makes you Think

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2003

I think this a great book that anyone can read and enjoy it (humm.. maybe not anyone. Sometimes you will agree sometimes you won't but at least It will make you wonder about many cosmological things. Moreover, you even will be challenge to rethink the sense of life.
About the conclusions... Well that's up to you. the Only thing I can say about the argument about the resurrection (accepting many argument not so easely) is :
Even if this "God" would have all the information to revive you that doesn't mean that the revived thing is you. OK, I make myself clear, just suppose that this god can make many copies of you which one would be really you? I mean I exist if someone makes a exact copy of me (not even think about being an emulation in a software program :-) ) that copy isn't me. Is it?
OK but anyway is a good book.
Jus be prepared to swallow a lot of physic.

Physics and Immortality, Some Thoughts

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

Dr. Tipler's book on the reality of life after death is curious, to say the least. He writes as a professor of mathematical physics who is trying to make mathematical theory intelligible to the average person. He is not that successful. Those thinking, from the title, that this work is an attempt on the part of a Christian believer to prove what the Bible says as about immortality, will not find comfort unless they are ready to redefine some terms and concepts. Tipler spends the greater part of the book setting out his case from the view of theoretical physics. He has an appendix to the book which is written for "the scientist," but without some familiarity with physics the book may be hard to follow; especially, his material on quantum cosmology. Chapters 9 through 11 are easier to follow and have greater interest to the non-technical reader. Tipler's thesis seems to have grown out of Pierre Teilhard de Chardain's book, "The Phenomenon of Man," in which he sees the human race as moving to an Omega Point in its evolutionary development. Tipler sees God as the Omega Point toward which humanity is moving, in which the whole of humanity is given new existence, having been regenerated from the data of their existence which has survived "in space" following the demise of the original body. Man will not be the original of himself but will be an exact recreation of himself, created out of the extant data of his original existence. The book does not make a claim of presenting absolute proof of the author's thesis, but is a presentation of what may be possible in terms of theoretical physics. Possibilities of what "may be" make up "the stuff" of theoretical physics. The book is well worth the reading. Maurice III

Very interesting read

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2008

Verified Purchase

I have to say this is one of the most interesting books on theoretical science that i have come across so far.
At first when i heard of the Omega Point theory, i thought it was highly absurd that the existence of a higher power (God, Allah or others) and the resurrection of the dead is compatible with modern physics. Once again, Tipler shows how absurd ideas can be proven to be true, despite common notions and beliefs stating otherwise.
While of course, the Omega Point theory is speculative at present, it could be the best cosmological scenario we could ask for assuming the LHC at CERN finds evidence for it and other scientific experiments.

Tipler also gives us hope for the future of life in the universe and how it could prove to be stronger than the blind laws of physics governing the physical universe. Finally, this book provides reason for hope that science and religion are not incompatible and they would work very well together in tackling life's big questions.
I hope that anyone who reads this review agrees with my main points i've raised and finds meaning in life after reading this book.

I was expecting this book with fervor.
Well, too bad. A book about the nature of Life without a single mention of 'consciousness' in the index.
We are 'information machines' apparently.
Pff.... A waste of time and money!
