Abstract

We discuss how entropy bounds, which are not respected in the standard cosmology, constrain the parameters of a previously suggested cosmology with a finite total mass. In that alternative cosmology the matter density was postulated to be a spatial delta function at the time of the big bang thereafter diffusing rapidly outward with constant total mass. Also discussed here are some related issues including the cosmic onion question, the information content of the universe, and the question of whether light trapping regions exist on a cosmic scale.
