← ScienceWhich consequence results when spacecraft navigation relies solely on Newtonian physics near a black hole?
A)Trajectory calculated as stable diverges✓
B)Fuel consumption becomes unpredictable
C)Communication range decreases rapidly
D)Thermal regulation system becomes unstable
💡 Explanation
Reliance on Newtonian mechanics ignores spacetime curvature; the **gravitational lensing effect** alters light paths, and any trajectory calculated using Newtonian physics rapidly diverges from the actual one. Therefore stability becomes unpredictable near the black hole, rather than the effects being on communication or fuel.
