← ScienceWhich consequence results when space elevator cables exceed limits?
A)Gravitational lensing distorts visual observations✓
B)Coriolis forces shift geostationary position
C)Increased dark matter gravitational distortion
D)Cable expansion avoids tensile strength limit
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing distorts observations because substantial mass in space elevators will warp spacetime, causing light from distant objects to bend via spacetime curvature. Therefore, lensing increases rather than alternatives such as forces or dark matter effects.
