  Various physical properties of cosmological models in (1+1) dimensions are
investigated. We demonstrate how a hot big bang and a hot big crunch can arise
in some models. In particular, we examine why particle horizons do not occur in
matter and radiation models. We also discuss under what circumstances
exponential inflation and matter/radiation decoupling can happen. Finally,
without assuming any particular equation of state, we show that physical
singularities can occur in both untilted and tilted universe models if certain
assumptions are satisfied, similar to the (3+1)-dimensional cases.
