i heard somewhere space was curved a while back then i heard from somewhere else it was time that was actually curved i would like to know what is curved time, space or both and why?

time is an interval between any two events--time is a concept that evolved into nanoseconds--space is curved because of things like black holes, super noveau, and the unavoidable life and death of all stars. does the universe have a boundry? what is infinity? sorry, seems like i'm asking more questions than i'm supposed to answer. time cannot be curved unless you get to the speed of light---time?--gravity?--dark mass?--antimatter?--you have opened up a can of worms(worm holes?) get back to me if you figure any of this out

Space is curved when in the presence of mass. Time is relative.

Space-time at the beginning of the big bang,was curved to a very extreme degree.
As it expanded it flattened out and will eventually reach a point where it will not be able to sustain itself anymore. Space-time cannot be separated!

Space is curved. Time is a measurement of earth's rotation everyday.

universal space is curved around the mass it contains

Time isn't a thing, it's a measurement, basically a way to measure entropy in a system. So it can't be curved, straight, or any shape.

space - 3 dementional - is not curved
time - 1 demention - is not curved
space-time - 4 dementional - is curved
the way I see it is like this.
in 4 dementional space-time, the earth is moving in a straight line, however, we can only experience this in 3 dementions, so we are curving around and around the sun

In general relativity, it is assumed that spacetime is curved by the presence of matter (energy), this curvature being represented by the Riemann tensor. In special relativity, the Riemann tensor is identically zero, and so this concept of "non-curvedness" is sometimes expressed by the statement "Minkowski spacetime is flat."

it is space/time yes space divided by time meaning that time and space allude within one another, so thus gravity bends both time and space.
