← ScienceWhich outcome results when a large celestial body causes extreme spacetime curvature?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant objects✓
B)Increased nuclear fusion reaction rates
C)Decreased rate of radioactive decay
D)Blue-shifting of emitted light occurs
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs, because light follows geodesics in curved spacetime; the extreme curvature bends light paths. Therefore, we see distorted or magnified images of background sources, rather than increased fusion, slowed decay, or blue-shifting of light itself under these conditions.
