← ScienceWhich behavior emerges near an event horizon because strong gravity fundamentally alters mass-energy?
A)Spacetime curvature exchanges energy for mass
B)Inertial frames become indistinguishable locally✓
C)Hawking radiation ceases instantaneously
D)Frame dragging affects only light
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle dictates that gravitational acceleration is locally indistinguishable from inertial acceleration. Near an event horizon, extreme gravity causes spacetime curvature; therefore inertial frames are indistinguishable rather than simple freefall since the curvature dominates the local metric.
