He's a mathematical physicist of some repute, still actively publishing on stuff like quantum gravity (a kind of Holy Grail in physics, which Tipler thinks was actually discovered by Feynman almost 50 years ago). But many in his field regard him as having gone off a religious deep-end. Last year he published a related book, "The Physics of Christianity". It seems especially American that he's combining these interests with economics. Tipler’s immortality book was also reviewed, as I recall, in Science, Nature, and maybe Physics Today.

But there's a chance it's real. his book Physics of Immortality was reviewed in the NYT Book Rev., I think. the coke commercial link is meant to suggest the extraordinary naivete such an attempted conflation of fact & value reveals...something more appropriate for a saccharine ad for a drink conglomerate than for scholarly work. well, I honestly thought it was like Sokal Hoax II, for law profs.
