← ScienceWhich mechanism causes accelerated dephasing in atomic clocks closer to inertial accelerometers?
A)Gravitational time dilation✓
B)Quantum entanglement decay
C)Doppler frequency shift
D)Electromagnetic interference coupling
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation affects clocks based on their position in a gravity field. Atomic clocks experience differential time dilation due to the spacetime curvature, because closer to mass, time slows; therefore clocks de-phase faster, rather than entanglement decay or Doppler shifts.
