Abstract
A limiting temperature of a species can cause the Universe to asymptote to it yielding a de-Sitter (dS) phase due to macroscopic emergent behavior. The limiting temperature is generic for theories slightly shifted from their conformal point. We demonstrate such behavior in the example of unparticles/Banks-Zaks theory. The unparticles behave like radiation at high energies reducing the Hubble tension and a cosmological constant at low energies yielding a model that follows closely Λ cold dark matter model but due to collective phenomenon. It is technically natural and avoids the no-dS conjecture. The model is free of the coincidence and initial conditions problems, scalar fields, and modified gravity.
