I am not a science specialist, but I do have interest in this area. Space is already curved. Space curves around gravitational fields; the bigger the field the bigger the 'bend'. For example, light from distant stars will bend as it passes by the sun, or even by super-large structures like galaxies. Einstein's theories seem to indicate that it is space itself that bends, and the light travels straight through the bent space. The space of the universe itself is bent in some ways, leaving us with a space that is, according to some, finite but unbounded. COUNTERPOINT: David Harriman in his lecture "Physicists Lost in Space" makes the point that there is no such THING as space. He is correct and Einstein, siding with Plato was wrong. The lecture can be found at the Ayn Rand bookstore. COUNTER-COUNTERPOINT: Yes, space exists and yes, it can be bent....I agree with whoever posted the top answer. As far as our understanding of the universe goes, it is bent. This is needed to explain why light bends in gravitational fields without a mass (and it cannot have a mass because it moves at the speed of light and infinite energy is required to accelerate to the speed of light) Therefore, unless we change our paradigm away from Eisnteins theories (which are still held as true) Space is curved.

Is curved pinky dominant or recessive?
The trait of having a curved pinky is typically a dominant trait, meaning that it only requires one copy of the gene to be expressed. However, there may be other genetic or environmental factors that can influence the shape of a person's pinky finger.
What happens to timber when heated?
Slowly heated timber would simply dry and become classed as seasoned. If steam is used, the timber would become pliable, and could be bent - resulting in the curved handle on a walking-stick, for instance.
Does light bend when it goes near the gravitational field of a black hole or does the light travel in a straight line through the space that has been bent by the intense gravity?
Light bends when it passes near the gravitational field of a black hole due to the curvature of space-time caused by the intense gravity of the black hole. This effect is known as gravitational lensing, and it can cause light to follow a curved path around the black hole rather than a straight line.
A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is called?
A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is called malleable. It means that the mineral can be easily shaped or molded without breaking, and it will hold the shape after being bent.
What molecule or ions has a bent shape?
OF2 has a bent shape.
How does bending space-time affect the movement of light?
When space-time is bent, light follows the curved path created by the bending. This can cause light to appear to be deflected or distorted as it travels through the curved space-time.
