If Space Time can be bent or curved, can it be broken or punctured?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to string theory, yes. On the quantum level, tiny tears in space continually occur, with strings sealing them up again.

I kinda remember that from Nova, but I'm far from a quantum physicist so take it with a grain of salt.

The idea of Space Time is still largely a theoretical metaphor, and incomplete. I think there is a fair bit of discussion about breaks in space-time but mch of the discussion involves refining our models of the universe, like string theory.

I don't believe the theories have a strong enough consensus to say this or that is a break in space time, rather they say "this is where our model breaks"

Yes. Block holes are "punctures" in space.
