I heard that the universe/space-time was a hypersphere ....
.
If the universe was finite...then there must be a boundary obviously between the outside of this hypersphere and the inside...
So if it were somehow possible to rip a hole in space-time...and step outside of this hypersphere...
????
Could I exist...is this even possible
Is it possible to rip space-time...I don't really understand what it is...I understand two building blocks --particles and waves...I'm having trouble understanding what this spacetime really is

I don't get this...
so space doesn't exist outside of this hypersphere???
Okay...so I guess I can't exist if there's no space....but WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No.
Everything is part of everything, and exists in time. By definition, there is no "outside" of everything. Still bewildered? Don't worry -- Stephen Hawking is probably the only person alive today who truly understands this stuff anyway.

In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single construct called the space-time continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space being three-dimensional and time playing the role of the fourth dimension. According to Euclidean space perception, the universe has three dimensions of space, and one dimension of time. By combining space and time into a single manifold, physicists have significantly simplified a large amount of physical theory, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.

Since Science has a very dim Understanding concerning the structure of Space.We cannot have any direct positive "Proof "of what the difference is between the constructed Universe and What substance and structure exists beyound our space structure.
Perhaps in certain dimensions the Laws of physics do not apply.
If this is true , then the Einstein's First Postulate of Relativity would not apply in General.
To Elucidate your Understanding of space time the following definition and explanation might help;
Space = A distance between two points,(frames of reference).
Time as defined per Quantron theory is not a physical dimension,but is a quantity that is indicative of how fast a process is taking place.
The equation of space time can be expressed as follows;
Lamda x T =Space pressure in the volume containment of the Universe / Power per unit distance of space. (measured in units of meter-seconds)
Where lamda is space measured in meters as an inverse curvature of Space
and T is =Time measured in the basic unit of seconds.

Anotes answered part of your question about space time, quite well. As for the part about existing outside of space and time, that is a harder question to answer. Scientists are learning more about the universe all the time, but as far ar existing outside it, most people are pretty close minded, skeptical, non believers. I believe, (and there is a religion that believes and practices this theory) that to exist outside of this realm one must be without body. In other words you would either have to be dead, or able to 'astral project'. capable of leaving your physical body, via soul travel. few people are able to achieve this state of mind, or being, and few people even believe it possible. But, the late Edgar Cayse was said to be able to travel outside his body, and to transcend across the world to use his great powers of healing to help a someone that he had never even met before. Cayse was also able to do things such as learn everything in a book just by sleeping with it under his pillow . If you type in Ekcancar or Edgar Cayse in your web browser you will find a ton of information about soul travel and many other amazing abilities that we all possess in our minds.

God purely exists in in spite of area and time you ascribe to a concept. (And the two aspects of the argument on your question make unreasonable assumptions.) M concept mathematically initiatives the existence of area and time to 11 dimensions. on account that we can purely hit upon 4 of those dimensions, there's a ability for a any form of issues to exist outdoors of our cutting-edge recognition of area and time. the potential of a multiverse composed of many universes each and each with doubtlessly diverse organic regulations additionally opens the door to an assumed definition of "existence" being insufficient. Case-in-element: purely before 1675, we had no concept that microorganisms which includes germs existed. of direction, no you will do something yet theorize approximately what exists previous our cutting-edge cognitive features. the 2d flaw is to ascribe God a default place of residing outdoors of our cognitive view of area and time with the aid of fact it rather is a handy artwork-around for the very undeniable fact that He can not be seen, heard, touched, or smelled in our organic realm. This assumes that God exist interior the 1st place and then purely seems for a place to place him.

Time, yes. As it is a linear construct, created by linear beings. ie, We mortals. :)
Space, no. Space is space, whether or not it has form or function.
Perhaps it could be summed up as being the name for what all variables
in all variances are perpetuating by their inevitabilities of causal interactions with all other variables and subsequent factors, up to and including what we do not deem possible as of yet. But all things, therefore are probable.
Which are most probable to ones inquery/use and Getting to the points that Make them possible is what the puzzle of "SpaceTime" may be to others. Perception by all means, is the definition of semantics...
Yes, you could exist.
Rip may be harsh to say. The way I see it is, the act of interacting with
"spacetime" may be more equivilant to stumbling and then getting sucked into, stretched, spun and held in stasis untill slower proccesses
trip their eveloution to it's origins, therfore sending one back out into such" mess" , which most probably would not have maintained a wholly familliar construction, if even location....This is also presupposing I know what I'm taking about!
All the answers are there. Processes maintain structure. Whether or not we understand chaotic nature as a form of complicated order.
Correlations have their truths. What is in and near one, is in and near all.
Exmpl;
Light-heat-Propellant-Fuser-Instigator-Variable Factor- Lacking Factor-Repulsary-Expellant-Deteriorant.....
Waves-Process-Current-Mode-Transport-Charting Factor....
Cold-Decreases-Maintains-Variable Factor-Lacking Factor- Instigatory-
Process.....etc.
As long as there are three basic options, all things can be manipulated.
(which is not to say easily, or even during our lifetime...)
Does this all make sense?

well if theres matter and anti-matter, then i figure in a few years we will know the answer, just like we figured out that one.
