← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when inertial and gravitational mass are proved nonequivalent?
A)Violation of the equivalence principle✓
B)Spacetime curvature remains unaffected
C)Universal gravitation's effects are amplified
D)Conservation of energy becomes trivial
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle underpins general relativity; its violation means gravitational and inertial effects differ. This arises because the gravitational interaction doesn't couple universally, therefore the equivalence principle is violated, rather than retaining other predictions.
