← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapidly rotating black holes 'frame-drag' spacetime?
A)Accretion disk material follows curvature✓
B)Hawking radiation stops completely
C)Event horizon area shrinks rapidly
D)Spacetime singularities become tidally unstable
💡 Explanation
Frame-dragging causes matter nearby black holes to spiral around the rotating singularity. Tidal forces cause the matter to follow geodesics because the effect is a metric property of spacetime; therefore, accretion disk material is shaped, rather than singularities immediately failing.
