Which relativistic effect increasingly distorts arrival timing signals through optical fiber spanning 1000 km across Earth's surface?

💡 Explanation

The Sagnac effect, an effect of general relativity, causes path-dependent time shifts because the co-rotating or counter-rotating path modifies spacetime intervals unevenly. Therefore, it distorts timing, rather than altitude-based time dilation or unrelated quantum effects, whose conditions differ greatly.
