← ScienceWhich effect on geodesics occurs because of local gravity wells warping spacetime?
A)Light cones bend towards mass✓
B)Time appears to accelerate vastly
C)Frame dragging ceases entirely locally
D)Invariant interval becomes absolute zero
💡 Explanation
Light cones bend towards mass because the equivalence principle implies gravity warps spacetime causing acceleration indistinguishable from gravity which affects geodesics; therefore light cones bend, rather than other relativistic effects such as time dilation which relates velocities.
