← ScienceWhich consequence results when GPS satellite signals pass through curved spacetime?
A)Clock drift needs continual correction✓
B)Signal encryption becomes unbreakable
C)Hardware damage from cosmic radiation
D)Incorrect satellite orbital calculations
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation from spacetime curvature slows the satellite's clock relative to ground stations, because the satellite experiences weaker gravity; therefore clock drift occurs, rather than inherent encryption changes which depend on computational algorithms under normal conditions.
