Thermodynamic behavior of cosmological models with fractional entropy

This discussion of "Thermodynamic behavior of cosmological models with fractional entropy" examines a new model using fractional entropy to study the apparent horizon of a flat universe. The authors found that this model is thermodynamically stable, preventing catastrophic shifts. Furthermore, the findings are consistent with observational data from sources like Pantheon+ and DESI DR2, showing that the critical parameter alpha is close to the standard General Relativity limit of two.
