Is it possible to bend the fabric of the earth's atmosphere...
Like does it put it hole in space...thats just empty, and no one knows where it leads??

Yes, black holes...and all mass for that matter...bends the 'fabric' of spacetime. We call that distortion 'gravity.' The nearest known black to Earth is associated with a star known as V4641, about 1,600 light years away. Any gravitational effects on Earth are too tiny even to measure at that range.

All matter bends the fabric of space to some degree.
High concentrations of matter warp space-time enough to cause "gravity wells." The more matter, the steeper the well.
Supernova remnants are so dense that the space-time matrix is "pinched off," not allowing matter/energy to escape. Not a hole as such but a "clump." Gravity is still present though because the fabric is still stretched in that region.

Hi. All objects with mass bend the fabric of space. A black hole bends it until it curves back onto itself.

So far we have not identified any fabric in space which could be bent, stretched, tied in knots, twisted, dented, folded, punctured, burned, or rolled up into a circle, spiral, or loop.
