Einstein said that time and space bend around an objects mass.

A very good question but one that we don't know the answer to yet. It is a hypothetical situation that could create a wormhole or perhaps the center of a blackhole is where this kind of phenomenon occurs. The bottom line is that there is no hard evidence of this but it seems possible according to mathematical models.

You gotta know what space and time are.
Space is a distance between two points. That distance may be within a mass or it may be in outer space (vacuum). Either way, what the result is is space.
Then comes what time is. Physical time is a velocity. It has the speed of "c" and the equation for physical time itself is c2=E/m. This concept describes time as being a product of energy and mass. When comparing the physics trilogy, we come to the conclusion that we, ourselves, as all other matter is composed of physical time. Because that is the basis of all existence, there can exist nothing in our universe that is able to distort the present existence we are part of, due to all mass and energy forms being composed of exactly the same thing - physical time.

No.
But it can get nasty snags and runs in it.
Seriously, in General Relativity it is usual to descibe spacetime using a manifold because it is not possible to create one set of co-ordinates that fills the whole of space time. A manifold is like little bits of smooth spacetime stuck together to form a whole description of spacetime. It can cope with the singularities created by black holes, but it has no tears in it.

yes, the space time contnuim could be ripped by a powerfull force unseen by the universe and this would turn into a swirling mass of chaos and pure energy, the level of space is already bent, ask any science teacher, they will expalin

A tear in the fabric of space-time is possible when exploring quantum mechanics and black hole theory ... it is rather tricky, but the examination of singularities explores the destruction of that very continuum

Like duh!
Remember how we travel through time when we move? We use energy to force ourselves through this spacetime to move foward into time faster then stationary objects.

Yes- a black hole rips the fabric of space/time.
