| dc.description | The holographic bound states that the entropy in a region cannot exceed one quarter of the area (in Planck units) of the bounding surface. A version of the holographic principle that can be applied to cosmological spacetimes has recently been given by Fischler and Susskind. This version can be shown to fail in closed spacetimes and they concluded that the holographic bound may rule out such universes. In this paper I give a modified definition of the holographic bound that holds in a large class of closed universes. Fischler and Susskind also showed that the dominant energy condition follows from the holographic principle applied to cosmological spacetimes with $a(t)=t^p$. Here I show that the dominant energy condition can be violated by cosmologies satisfying the holographic principle with more general scale factors. | |
