	Omega point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Omega point is a term invented by French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to describe the ultimate maximum level of complexity-consciousness, considered by him the aim towards which consciousness evolves.
		Omega point is reprised by the mathematical physicist Frank J. Tipler to describe a hypothetical cosmological scenario in the far future of the Universe.
		The omega point theory assumes that certain cosmological parameters have values that require the universe to eventually contract, and that there will be intelligent civilizations in existence at the appropriate time to exploit the computational capacity of such an environment.

		"Omega Point" was chosen among more than 260 proposals as one of eight works to be installed at Daigoji and was further selected for the Grand Prize of the year 2000 competition.
		When Omega is combined with Alpha (A), the first letter of the alphabet (as with the Sanskrit "A" and "Un") they represent much more than just letters or sounds.
		Omega Point as a philosophy was proposed by the French priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955).

	Omega point
		The mathematical physicist Frank J. Tipler[?] created the term Omega Point to describe a hypothetical cosmological scenario in the far future of the Universe.
		According to the Omega Point Theory, as the Universe comes to an end in a Big Crunch, the computational capacity of the Universe is capable of increasing at a sufficient rate that its computation rate is accelerating exponentially faster than time runs out.
		From the perspective of the inhabitant, the Omega Point represents an infinite duration afterlife, which could take any imaginable form due to its virtual nature.

	A Commentary on the Omega Point by Robert Coon
		The global Omega Point is a highly concentrated locale in space and time where the boundaries between all dimensions vanish and total communion among all points of view is constant.
		The Global Omega Point is alive and active within the centre of the centre of this Heart.
		Within the microcosmic concentration of the Omega Point is contained the Living Perfection of every point of view to be found throughout the space and time of the macrocosmic Universe.

	Biblical Scripture which Gives Evidence of Tipler's Omega Point Theory
		When the Omega Point is reached it will be in control of all material and energy resources--indeed, the Omega Point will be the totality of the universe.
		When the Omega Point is achieved, information will be coded directly into the elementary particles which exist at the time, and light will pass back and forth across the universe an infinity of times.
		To invent a new term, we might call these Alpha-Omega Point simulations, i.e., perfectly simulating new universes from the beginning of their Big Bang singularity to their ending in a Big Crunch singularity wherein the final causal-boundary is another Omega Point.

	Omega point (Tipler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Omega Point is a term used by Tulane University professor of mathematics and physics Frank J. Tipler to describe a hypothetical cosmological scenario in the far future of the Universe.
		Assuming that achieving the Omega Point is physically possible, Tipler hypothesizes this would be accomplished by "downloaded" human consciousness in tiny quantum computers that could exponentially explore space, many times faster than biological human beings.
		From this point on the entire visible universe would be engulfed as it approaches the point of maximum expansion.

		His definition of the Omega Point is essentially a future c-boundary which is a single point and an Aleph state, where
		What has made his theory controversial is his claims that it is experimentally verifiable, that the beings near the Omega Point will resurrect anybody who has ever lived into a state close to classical descriptions of Paradise and that the Omega Point itself corresponds to the religious notation of God.
		From a transhumanist perspective, the Omega Point is the logical conclusion of our striving towards higer levels, regardless of its nature.

		The mechanics of 'steering' the universe to the omega point require actions to be taken throughout space.
		Thus, when he says that the omega point 'knows' X, he means that X is known by some finite entity before the time of the omega point, and is never subsequently forgotten.
		The Omega Point is the future c-boundary --- the future singularity --- which is not part of spacetime, but is instead the "limit" of spacetime (the mathematical term is "completion").

	Critical Notice: Frank J Tipler (1995) "The Physics of Immortality"
		The Omega Point Theory is a viable scientific theory of the future of the physical universe, but the only evidence in its favour at the moment is theoretical beauty, for there is as yet no confirming experimental evidence for it.
		As the Omega Point is approached, survival dictates that life collectively gain control of all matter and energy sources available near the Final State, with this control becoming total at the Omega Point.
		The real significance of this observation is that the Omega Point is an ideal point which is used to characterise the boundary of space-time, but which is not itself part of the space-time manifold.

		Omega Point : Awakening to the Omega Point: Chardin and the Noosphere
		The '''Consciousness Singularity''' refers to a hypothetical point of time in the future when human consciousness, at both the personal and species level, experiences an abrupt transition, a phase transition of sorts, into a collective state of transcendence that is conceptually impossible for us to imagine "what it's like" with our current limited cognitive abilities.

		The Omega Point, as Tipler defines it, is a single-point c-boundary (causal boundary) of the universe.
		The first point is that the Omega Point is supposed to be generated by the laws and by the evolutionary history of the universe and of entities within the universe, instead of generating them.
		In proposing that the Omega Point would actualize 'the resurrection of the dead,' Tipler identifies this with 'emulation'--total exact reconstruction of a person and his or her history in a computational process.

		The star is said to have reached a singularity: a point at which the laws of physics no longer work.
		Exploring the evolutionary trends towards greater complexity, connectivity, and consciousness, he argued that humanity was moving towards an “Omega Point” -- the full descent of spirit into matter, the fulfillment of our evolution.
		He described the Omega Point as a time when light would blaze across the planet -- not physical light but the light of consciousness.

		There is a 26,000-year cycle during which our north pole points at all twelve signs of the Zodiac, in "Ages" of approximately 2,300 years.

		For the last [several] years, then, I have been aware, and I have been watching for signs that would tell me where we are in the process of reaching our Omega point--the point in time when our present world as we know it would make a transdimensional shift upward into a fourth-density world.

		The light rays from those people who died a thousand years ago are not lost forever; rather, these rays will be intercepted by the Omega Point.

		That said, an explanation could point the way, and help allay the rampant cynicism that is leading many people to believe that humankind is hopeless.
		Of course, this implies that there will be a turning point, when the transformation of humankind will begin to end the rampant division, conflict, and fragmentation we are presently experiencing due to the unwise use of thought.
		Since extinction, from our point of view, isn’t an option, and since understanding the "riddle of man" is part of resolving it, I feel humankind will make the turn in time.

		If at some point early in the cell division process, the chromosomes duplicate so that a diploid cell is formed, a normal turkey is born.
		But if the universe is to evolve into the Omega Point, then there necessarily must be a practical, small scale method of annihilating baryons to provide energy (before the re-collapse of the universe provides gravitational energy [1]) and to provide efficient relativistic rockets.
