Mass creates a curvature in spacetime, as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. This curvature is what causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other through the force of gravity.
An Einstein-Rosen bridge is a hypothetical shortcut through spacetime, also called a wormhole. A wormhole is like a sort of tunnel with two ends that reach separate points in spacetime.
At a scale of 1 picometer, which is one trillionth of a meter, the nature of spacetime is still governed by the principles of general relativity, but quantum effects become significant. At such small distances, the concept of continuous spacetime breaks down, and a quantum theory of gravity is necessary to fully describe the nature of spacetime.
No, not in the sense usually thought of when the word rip is used... there are no ragged edges. But it does produce an isolated area of spacetime from which nothing can return.
A boundary or interface, such as the surface of an object or a region defined by physical laws, can divide spacetime into inside and outside. This can be observed in the concept of a closed system, where interactions are confined within a specified region of spacetime.

In 1908, Hermann Minkowski presented a paper consolidating the role of time as the fourth dimension of spacetime, the basis for Einstein's theories of special and general relativity.
