Editing Dyson's eternal intelligence (section)

==Legacy==
[[Frank J. Tipler]] has cited Dyson's writings, and specifically his writings on the  eternal intelligence, as a major influence on his own highly controversial [[Omega Point]] theory.<ref>Audio interview with Frank Tipler- White Gardenia interview with Frank Tipler, December 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMkp1kZN5n4&t=26s</ref>
Tipler's theory differs from Dyson's theory on several key points, most notable of which is that Dyson's eternal intelligence presupposes an open universe while Tipler's Omega Point presupposes a closed/contracting universe.  Both theories will be invalidated if the observed universal  expansion continues to accelerate.<ref>Q&A with Frank Tipler http://turingchurch.com/2012/09/26/interview-with-frank-j-tipler-nov-2002/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171003030535/http://turingchurch.com/2012/09/26/interview-with-frank-j-tipler-nov-2002/ |date=2017-10-03 }}</ref>
