← ScienceWhich mechanism distorts measured spacetime near a black hole?
A)Gravitational time dilation✓
B)Inertial frame drag
C)Cosmological redshift expansion
D)Quantum entanglement fluctuations
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation is caused by intense curvature of spacetime near extremely massive objects because gravity affects the rate at which time passes; therefore, time slows down near the black hole, distorting spacetime rather than other mechanisms, which are outside extreme gravitational fields.
