← ScienceWhich timing consequence results for GPS satellites ignoring general relativity?
A)Cumulative clock drift accumulates rapidly✓
B)Signal jamming increases unpredictably
C)Orbital decay accelerates exponentially
D)Solar panel efficiency decreases significantly
💡 Explanation
Ignoring relativistic effects results in cumulative desynchronization because gravitational time dilation causes clocks to run faster at higher altitudes using less spacetime; therefore drift accumulates causing positional inaccuracies rather than signal jamming because that arises from interference.
