← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased time dilation near massive neutron stars?
A)Spacetime curvature increase produces gravity✓
B)Neutron degeneracy maintains stellar density
C)Thermionic emission decreases surface potential
D)Synchrotron radiation loss lowers velocity
💡 Explanation
Increased spacetime curvature leads to stronger gravitational fields because gravity arises from this curvature in general relativity; therefore, time dilation grows nearer the neutron star, rather than any changes in neutron degeneracy or radiation effects.
