Abstract
We examine the cosmology of the two recently proposed scenarios for a five dimensional universe with localized gravity. We find that the scenario with a non-compact fifth dimension is potentially viable, while the scenario wh ich might solve the hierarchy problem predicts a contracting universe, lead ing to a variety of cosmological problems.
