then would any of my childrens children or their fellow citizens who are observing me through a space time porthole apparatus please find some way to make me rich and impart the info to me as I am seriously broke

The best way to get rich with such science fiction is to write your own best-seller.

All mass bends space time... You just need a lot of it to notice.
To calculate the obit of Mercury actually you have to take into account the the Sun's mass bending space-time. although even that is a very small effect, If you ignore it you still get a fairly accurate result)
Only when you start to think about very fast speeds (near the speed of light) or very very large masses like in a black hole will you get dramatically different results.

Hello =)
space-time may very well be seriously bent....or even crumpled-up.
It is evidently quite possible that other places and times may be as close to us as our computer screen is to our eyes, or even closer.
The evidence of this is a curious lack of the predicted graviton particle, supposedly.
I'm not intelligent enough to really grasp the way all of this works, but evidently, quantum physics has this all well in hand.
Namaste,

You can bend space and time with gravity but you'd need to break it altogether. For that you just need to find a black hole.

Just cuz you see the desert doesn't mean you can make it rain.
