← ScienceWhich mechanism limits maximal escape velocity near black holes?
A)Spacetime curvature inhibits light propagation✓
B)Event horizon prevents exhaust emission
C)Extreme gravity crushes vehicle structure
D)Fuel consumption becomes exponentially expensive
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature causes photons to follow increasingly curved paths, limiting escape because photons cannot move outwards to escape; therefore, increased curvature inhibits escape velocity, rather than structural limits or excessive fuel consumption.
