The universe is expanding faster and faster — possibly due to a quantum rule, not mysterious dark energy.

Quantum mechanics allows not only a predetermined past but also a fixed future. Scientists tested what would happen if the Universe 'knows' its outcome: then its accelerated expansion arises naturally — without mysterious dark energy. This trick is already confirmed by data from cosmic 'beacons'—supernovae.

🎯 Type Ia supernovae are stellar explosions with nearly identical power: they are used as standard 'rulers' to measure distances over billions of light-years.

🎬 Post-selection resembles the plot of Ted Chiang's story 'Story of Your Life,' where knowledge of the future determines actions in the present.
