As gravity sculpts galaxies and clusters, it converts gravitational energy into heat via entropy—a thermodynamic byproduct. This dissipated energy accelerates late-time expansion and weakens matter clumping, addressing two major observational puzzles (Hubble tension and low S₈) without new particles or modified gravity, all within standard General Relativity.
