Just wondering? Space-time is exerting pressure. Is this movement faster than the speed of light?

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light is the absolute maximum speed limit in the universe. This means that nothing, including the fabric of space-time, can move faster than the speed of light.
Einstein's theory of relativity shows that the speed of light is the maximum speed at which energy and information can travel. This is because as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases infinitely and it would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it further.
Yes, the fabric of space-time can be affected by massive objects, causing it to bend or stretch. This is known as gravitational lensing and has been observed in the bending of light around massive objects like galaxies and black holes.
No, the speed of light is considered to be constant throughout the universe. However, the fabric of space-time can be affected by gravity, which can cause light to appear to slow down or speed up, depending on the strength of the gravitational field.
The fabric of space-time is a theoretical concept and there is no evidence to suggest that it can break or tear. However, extreme conditions such as those near a black hole could potentially cause disruptions in the fabric of space-time.
