Quantum post-selection explains cosmic acceleration without invoking new fields or vacuum energy.

Is the Universe accelerating due to dark energy? A new approach says: no, it's being pulled by a quantum condition from the future. Like the final chord of a symphony making the orchestra play faster to reach the last note. A Chern-Simons soliton, hidden in the distant future, warps the expansion history. Perhaps we live inside a huge quantum post-selection. Traces of this surge can be sought in the cosmic microwave background. And if we find them, we'll have to admit: the future is more real than the past.

🎯 In the lab, post-selection allows measuring an electron spin of 100 or detecting a particle before it was emitted. Cosmological acceleration is the gravitational echo of this procedure: the final wave function selects histories where we speed up, as if the future dictates the present.

\Psi(b,T)=\int d\phi\, A(\phi) e^{i(P(b;\phi,m)-\phi T)}

Wave function of the Universe as a superposition of states with different values of the cosmological constant, where b is the connection, T is unimodular time.

b_{\text{peak}} \approx b_r + \frac{\epsilon^2}{\sigma_X^2} b_r^2 b_{\text{CS}}^5

The position of the peak of the conditional amplitude deviates from the classical radiation trajectory b_r under the influence of the Chern-Simons soliton b_{\text{CS}}; ε is the half-width of the forward wave packet.
