a strong gravitational fields generate anomalies in space and time like black holes, which essentially its a region of space in where a super dense object like a massive star has collapsed on itself owing to the intense force of gravity thus leading ultimately to what is known as a singularity. this is the point where the force of gravity its so great that it curves space time on itself not allowing anything not even light to escape if the event horison has been crossed. so if space time can be bent by intense gravitational fields that seems to show elasticity of space-time, and by logical reasoning as it can be seen from any elastic object on earth, if u distort the shape of an elastic, eg: stretch it to its limits, once the elasticity threshold has been reached then depending if u pass this limit or not three things can happen, the elastic will rip apart, it will just stop strething, or it wil start to contract, doesnt this same principle applies to the universe? which one its right?
