Can the Fabric of Space-Time Break Under Extreme Mass?

[XanPaul]

Space Time "Fabric" limit?

Has a study ever been conducted on the limit of mass that can exist at ant one point in space time?

i.e.; Could the fabric of space time reach a breaking point with enough mass concentrated on a very small area?

"Fabric"? Is spacetime permanent press? If you toss spacetime in the dryer for too long does it shrink?

I think you'll need to pose your question in a more quantitative way before it makes sense.

You mean like the way spacetime is "broken" inside the event horizon of a black hole? Or all of spacetime being "broken"? Or something different?

Einstein quote:
"Space-time does not claim existence in its own right, but only as a structural quality of the [gravitational] field".
And since the field does not er... break...
