← ScienceWhich outcome results when the principle of equivalence fails at extreme scales?
A)Gravitational waves exhibit quantum properties
B)Inertial mass deviates from gravitational mass✓
C)Spacetime becomes smoothly and uniformly flat
D)Black hole event horizons become undetectable
💡 Explanation
If the principle of equivalence breaks down, the inertial mass would no longer exactly equal gravitational mass, because the assumption that gravitational and inertial forces are indistinguishable becomes invalid, therefore influencing motion differently rather than uniformly.
