Branch-Cut Cosmology and the Bekenstein Criterion
Abstract
In this contribution we address the implications of the Bekenstein Criterion in the branch-cut cosmology. The impossibility of packaging energy and entropy according to the Bekenstein Criterion in a finite size makes the transition phase of the branch-cut cosmology very peculiar, imposing a topological leap between the contraction and expansion phases of the primordial universe or a transition region similar to a wormhole, with space-time shaping itself topologically in the format of a helix-format around a branch point. Singularity means that there is no way for space-time to begin smoothly. The branch-cut cosmology alternatively proposes a non-temporal beginning at all, a pure space configuration, through a Wick rotation which replaces the imaginary time component by the temperature, the cosmological time.
