Which distortion results when extreme mass influences spacetime?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation occurs near massive objects because gravity warps spacetime, causing time to pass slower due to general relativity; therefore time slows, rather than cosmic acceleration or quantum decoherence which involve different mechanisms.
