From the SL4 Lexicon:

Omega Point Theory:

Frank Tipler's theory that life will expand to fill the universe, make use out of every computation available, and gain an asymptotically large quantity of computational power from the shear energy as the universe collapses into a Big Crunch. Most cosmologists now believe that a Big Crunch won't happen; that the universe will expand indefinitely instead, but this does not preclude the possibility of an intelligent civilization artificially creating a black hole singularity out of a solar system or galaxy and trying to extract asymptotic computation from that instead. Very Speculative. See also aleph.
