Abstract
Using the extented Jaynes's principle of maximum entropy we determine the effect of the quantum phenomena on the thermodynamical properties of matter in the early stage of Universe. It is shown that the thermodynamical free energy of the matter of the early Universe becomes very large value due to these quantum phenomena. Both the entropy as well as the free energy of the Universe become singular at the Big Bang.
