It's simultaneously less "magical" and more mind-blowing when you understand that this is more likely to point to the universe being more accurately described as an information system on a "flat" event horizon than an actual 3D space with depth and scale.

Our brains just turn this into a 3D experience of the universe and create the illusion of space and time as separate things.
