Lack of Information Accelerates the Universe ⚡ экспресс
To alleviate the Hubble constant tension, an infrared mechanism is proposed based on a slight departure from entanglement equilibrium on the apparent cosmological horizon. The entropy deficit relative to the Bekenstein–Hawking value is parameterized by a fractional shortfall δ(a) that depends on the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker scale factor. The associated equipartition deficit at the Gibbons–Hawking temperature generates a homogeneous component with density ∝ H²/G and a coefficient c_e²(a) of order δ(a). This component is negligible in the early universe but becomes active at z ≲ 1, boosting the expansion rate by a few percent without affecting recombination or the sound horizon. A minimal three-parameter activation model for c_e²(a) leads to enhanced H(z), mild suppression of fσ₈(z), and a modified redshift–distance relation. Comparison with low-redshift datasets (Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, cosmic chronometers, redshift-space distortions) indicates that the H₀ tension may stem from a late-time information deficit at the horizon scale rather than a modification of the early universe.
The visible edge of the universe is a holographic screen that, like a black hole, obeys laws discovered by Bekenstein and Hawking. Normally, information is preserved on it, but calculations show that if a few bits are lost, energy is released that accelerates expansion.
It is precisely this information leakage that can explain the famous Hubble tension — the discrepancy in measurements of the expansion rate of the universe. Unlike previous hypotheses, there's no need to change Big Bang physics — just a loss of data over the last few billion years. The effect is like a headwind: the faster the expansion, the stronger it pushes. This is not a constant dark energy but a growing one, adding a few percent to the rate today. For such acceleration, losing information equivalent to a couple of photons per year from the horizon would be enough; observations confirm this.
🎯 The information lost on the horizon is what's missing for an observer to fully describe the invisible universe. It's amazing that this deficit behaves like real thermal energy and can accelerate the expansion.
🎬 Just as in a cyberpunk world where a data leak changes the system, here bit loss on the horizon subtly rewrites the behavior of the universe.
