!! I think the Beckenstein Boundary condition is a well-conceived theory and
generally accepted by most cosmologists--including GFR Ellis, a devoted hater
of Tipler's work. Max Tegmark seemed to have a fairly, high opinion of Frank
Tipler, when I inquired about his opinion of him. Again getting to your
point of falsifiablity is crucial and yet we may never have the practical
means to determine validity.
