The universe is expanding faster than expected, and a slight lack of 'memory' at its horizon may be to blame.

At the edge of the visible universe, information may be lost. This tiny shortage, like a loosened spring, adds energy, making the cosmos expand slightly faster in the last few billion years — and this could explain the mysterious discrepancy in expansion rate measurements.

🎯 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.
