He may say that now but 10 years ago in his book he said his was a real
scientific theory and should be treated like any other. He made a long
list of predictions; he said if any one of them was wrong his entire theory
collapses. Remember he said that not me.

Tipler predicted the universe was closed; it's not, it's open and
accelerating, you can't get much more wrong than that!

Tipler predicted that the Hubble constant must be less than or equal to 45
km/sec/Mpc, but today we know the value is 72±8 (km/sec)/Mpc.

He was probably wrong about the mass of the Higgs particle too but it's too
early to be certain.
