← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when a rapidly accelerating spacecraft warps spacetime?
A)Gravitational time dilation increases locally✓
B)Net spacecraft mass steadily declines
C)Internal temperature approaches absolute zero
D)Propulsion efficiency proportionally deteriorates
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation increases because spacetime curvature intensifies with acceleration, altering the local gravitational potential via the equivalence principle; therefore time slows near the spacecraft, rather than mass changing or unrelated temperature shifts occurring.
