← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased orbital precession when massive objects distort spacetime?
A)Geodesic deviation follows curved paths✓
B)Frame-dragging opposes motion
C)Gravitational redshift alters frequency
D)Spacetime foam introduces uncertainty
💡 Explanation
Geodesic deviation describes differing trajectories nearby in curved spacetime; because mass warps spacetime, geodesics near massive objects change direction, leading to precession. Therefore, deviations increase precession, rather than frame-dragging, which imparts mostly rotational effects.
