*Frank J. Tipler : Mathematical physicist who maintains in a 2005 paperF. J. Tipler, [http://math.tulane.edu/~tipler/theoryofeverything.pdf "The structure of the world from pure numbers,"] "Reports on Progress in Physics", Vol. 68, No. 4 (April 2005), pp. 897-964. See also [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005RPPh...68..897T here.] Also released as [http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3276 "Feynman-Weinberg Quantum Gravity and the Extended Standard Model as a Theory of Everything,"] arXiv:0704.3276, April 24, 2007.] published in "Reports on Progress in Physics " that the correctquantum gravity theory has existed since 1962, first discovered byRichard Feynman in that year, and independently discovered by others. Intrinsic to this theory of quantum gravity are certain boundary conditions, which includes an Omega Point final cosmological singularity.
