Out of 50 articles, physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J.
Tipler's 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 is a measure of the importance the science community places in
that journal in the sense of actually citing its papers in their own
papers, with a higher number meaning more citations. Impact factors
published by Journal Citation Reports are the standard measure used to
compare a journal's influence.

Said paper by Prof. Tipler is the following:

* F. J. Tipler, "The structure of the world from pure numbers",
Reports on Progress in Physics, Vol. 68, No. 4 (Apr. 2005), pp.
897-964, doi:10.1088/0034-4885/68/4/R04, bibcode: 2005RPPh...68..897T,
http://www.math.tulane.edu/~tipler/theoryofeverything.pdf . Also
released as Frank J. Tipler, "Feynman-Weinberg Quantum Gravity and the
Extended Standard Model as a Theory of Everything", arXiv:0704.3276,
Apr. 24, 2007, http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3276 .

Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which has been published and
extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals, is a proof
(i.e., mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the
form of, e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads
and artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics
(viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and
Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all matter in the universe,
for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and
for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both
processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the
universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point.
Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the
Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of
Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in
physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by the aforesaid
known physical laws.

Said known laws of physics have been confirmed by every experiment to
date. Thus, the only way to avoid the Omega Point TOE is to reject
empirical science. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really
argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking,
The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books,
1996; 1st ed., 1988].)

The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties
(quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. For much
more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it
uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described
in the New Testament, see the following article, which also addresses
the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:

Highlights of 2005

I am delighted to present a special collection of the very best
articles published in Reports on Progress in Physics in 2005. 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.

These 12 articles are only a small sample of the wide range of content
in Reports on Progress in Physics which publishes across the whole of
physics, covering:

* astrophysics and cosmology
* atomic, molecular and optical physics
* condensed matter and materials
* earth sciences
* metrology
* soft condensed matter and biological physics
* nuclear physics
* particle physics

All of these articles are free to read until 31 December 2006.

Articles are designed to be accessible to physicists working in the
fields and form an ideal introduction to graduate students entering
the subject.

Further journal information for readers, subscribers or authors can be
found on the journal home page or you can e-mail the journal
publishing team at rop@iop.org.

The mass of the photon
Liang-Cheng Tu, Jun Luo and George T Gillies 68 No 1 (January 2005)
A nonzero photon rest mass would have far-reaching implications such
as variation of the speed of light, deviations in static
electromagnetic fields, longitudinal electromagnetic radiation, and
even gravitational deflection. This review assesses the experimental
methods that have set upper limits on the photon rest mass. As yet,
there has been no firm finding of a finite photon mass, but ever more
stringent upper bounds have been set.

The Casimir force: background, experiments, and applications
Steven K Lamoreaux 68 No 1 (January 2005)
The Casimir force - the attraction of two uncharged material bodies
due to modification of the zero-point energy associated with the
electromagnetic modes in the space between them – has recently been
measured with percent-level accuracy. This article reviews the theory
of the Casimir force and its corrections for real materials and finite
temperature and discusses applications of the theory to a number of
practical problems.

Physics of negative refractive index materials
S Anantha Ramakrishna 68 No 2 (February 2005)
It has been known for some time that a medium in which the relative
dielectric permittivity and relative magnetic permeability are both
negative will have a negative refractive index. There has recently
been an explosion of interest in such materials, which have now been
realized experimentally. Negative refractive index materials offer the
possibility of a perfect lens that enables imaging with sub-wavelength
image resolution. This article reviews the fundamental concepts and
ideas of negative refractive index materials.

Electron tunnelling in self-assembled monolayers
Wenyong Wang, Takhee Lee and Mark A Reed 68 No 3 (March 2005)
There has been much recent interest in both the basic transport
physics and potential technological applications of molecular
electronics, but some reports of molecular mechanisms in electronic
devices have turned out to be due to filamentary conduction. This
article reviews the mechanisms and characterization methods of
electronic transport through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Using
SAMs of alkanethiols in a nanometer scale device structure, tunnelling
is unambiguously demonstrated as the main intrinsic conduction
mechanism for defect-free large bandgap SAMs.
