The simple fact of the matter is that General Relativity is not complete, which is why it breaks down when applied to black holes and the big bang. Which is also why we need a quantum theory of gravity.
It's complete for what it addresses, which is gravity.
Yes the Standard model includes the electromagnetic, strong/weak nuclear forces, but it has yet to be successfully merged with General Relativity. Not only that but the Standard Model does not say anything about Dark Matter, and it depends on the yet to be discovered Higgs particle. Also consider the following quote:
Physical values are at infinity at the singularity because General Relativity breaks down at singularities, this cut off point is called the Planck Scale. Again in order to have an accurate picture of what takes place at the Planck scale we need a quantum theory of gravity.
General Relativity doesn't break down at the Planck scale. It is perfectly good all the way up to the singularity, which is infinitely smaller than the Planck scale.
No possible form of physics applies to the singularity, as physical values are at infinity at the singularity, and hence it's not possible for perform the arithmetical operations of addition and subtraction.
Of course the fact that the top quark's mass was already being detected in 1992 is a bit helpful. Even if he did successfully predict it, that does not mean all of Omega Point Cosmology is correct.
It was detected at a value inconsistent with what Prof. Frank J. Tipler predicted. The world's leading particle physicists were wrong and Tipler was right. Prof. Frank J. Tipler's correct prediction of the mass of the top quark in the face of the *contradictory detection* by CERN adds enormous veracity to the correctness of the Omega Point cosmology, as Tipler stood by the prediction of the Omega Point cosmology even when the world's leading particle physicists were saying it was incorrect--and Tipler turned out to be right.
Once again, our existing theories are not complete, so to jump from this fact to saying Omega Point Cosmology is correct is a
non sequitur.
We have the quantum gravity Theory of Everything (TOE) if the known laws of physics are correct. They have been confirmed by every experiment to date. Hence, there exists no rational reason for thinking that the quantum gravity TOE required by physical law is incorrect.
The Feynman-Dewitt-Weinburg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything, is not the TOE!
In his eyes it is, and maybe a few others. As far as I have heard most physicist think it has some interesting aspects to it, but that it is mostly pseudoscience. I am not even a physicist and I can see a lot of holes and assumptions in the theory.
We just do not know yet!
I see you're just making up things as you go along. You here show that you have no clue as to what in the world you're talking about (although that was already made clear by you in your previous posts in this thread). "[M]ost physicist" (sic) haven't commented on it one way or the other. The only physicists who have commented on it have approved it.
Out of 50 articles, Prof. Tipler's below 2005 Reports on Progress in Physics paper--which presents the Omega Point/Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE)--was selected as one of 12 for the "Highlights of 2005" accolade as "the very best articles published in Reports on Progress in Physics in 2005 [Vol. 68]. Articles were selected by the Editorial Board for their outstanding reviews of the field. They all received the highest praise from our international referees and a high number of downloads from the journal Website."

Reports on Progress in Physics is the leading journal of the Institute of Physics, Britain's main professional body for physicists. Further, Reports on Progress in Physics has a higher impact factor (according to Journal Citation Reports) than Physical Review Letters, which is the most prestigious American physics journal (one, incidently, which Prof. Tipler has been published in more than once). A journal's impact factor reflects the importance the science community places in that journal in the sense of actually citing its papers in their own papers.
