← ScienceWhich outcome is experienced orbiting a black hole due to gravity's equivalence to acceleration?
A)Time dilation becomes more pronounced✓
B)Spacetime curvature approaches zero
C)Event horizon radius decreases linearly
D)Energy density remains perfectly uniform
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation becomes significant nearby a black hole because gravitational fields are equivalent to acceleration, therefore time passage slows relative to distant observers, rather than spatial dimensions warping uniformly or the event horizon shrinking.
