← ScienceWhich phenomenon dictates orbital precession around a black hole?
A)Spacetime curvature near massive object✓
B)Frame dragging from spinning singularity
C)Hawking radiation reducing black hole mass
D)Gravitational lensing causing apparent shift
💡 Explanation
Orbital precession results from spacetime curvature; general relativity predicts the non-Newtonian behavior. This occurs because the object warps spacetime nearby, therefore the motion of orbiting object becomes nonlinear, rather than fixed ellipses predicted classically.
