No one really knows the answer to your question...we can't even find it nor "sew" it...we have only incomplete hints. I think this is likely because we do not know what space nor time are...nor mass,energy,either for example. And we have no theory (quantum nor relativistic nor informational nor string ) that works at singularities...(big bang, black holes) where ripping seems mostly likely...it could be the "quantum foam" (high energy oscillations) at Planck scale activity "ruins" spacetime and makes distinction between say, space and mass impossible...String theory also hints at this possibility.
There is no 'fabric' in any modern physical theory, so there is no 'fabric' to be ripped.
This is an exaggeration...I think, but not incorrect...had it said "none proven in classical relativity" I'd say "ok" that might be about right. we don't have an agreed upon definiton of "fabric" for one thing...
Anyway, one perspective of spacetime rips can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_censorship_hypothesis
but these are hypothetical, not experimentally proven.
We have had long discussions in the forums about "what is space-time" and of course no one really knows...but quantum mechanics, and quantum field theory in particular, I believe, posits space time is discrete rather than continuous as in classical relativity. That suggests it to possibly be something...but there is no agreement here either: continuous or discrete?.
You can also look up causal dynamic triangulation as to how spacetime might form, and spin foam is another variety. A recent discussion on the forums from a paper by Verlinde hypothesisizes that space time forms from entropy and while unproven offers I think fascinating possibilities. And of course one can utilize incomplete theories about the universe being formed of information, a relative of entropy...
And a case can be made that the holographic principle offers yet another insight into spacetime, and everything else that we perceive as being three dimensionally space enclosed...maybe everything we know is really area rather than volume based...information content and flow sure seems to be that way.
Another hint at an answer, might be contained in the big bang versus black hole singularities. Apparently Weyl curvature in the former approach zero, or is at least finite, while Weyl Curvature in the latter diverges...so the low entropy of the big bang might be markedly different than the exceedingly high entropy (information) of the latter...
I posted asking about the implications some time ago and never got an answer.
Roger Penrose discusses naked singularities in THE ROAD TO REALITY SECTION 28.8 AND YOU MIGHT GET FURTHER HINTS FROM THE Hawking-Hartle no boundary proposal which Penrose discussesd in 28.9.
however, all the above simply offer tangential insights..not answers because no one has the real solution...yet...
