Abstract

Recently, Bekenstein showed that a singularity in the FRW radiation-dominated cosmological model is inconsistent with the "entropy bound," a new thermodynamic law he put forward a few years ago. In this paper we generalize his results and show that, regardless of model peculiarities, the existence of cosmological singularities is incompatible with thermodynamics.
