← ScienceWhich consequence arises due to extreme spacetime curvature near rotating black holes?
A)Frame-dragging causing orbital precession✓
B)Hawking radiation emitting virtual pairs
C)Gravitational lensing creating multiple images
D)Event horizon preventing signal escape
💡 Explanation
Frame-dragging occurs because spacetime is twisted by the black hole’s rotation, influencing local inertial frames. Therefore, orbital precession results because the rotating spacetime drags orbiting objects, rather than lensing or Hawking radiation, phenomena linked to mass/energy.
