Have you ever heard someone talk about how objects with mass warp the fabric of space-time? This has been demonstrated by people taking a bowling ball and placing it in the middle of a sheet being held at all 4 corners. The bowling ball bends or ‘warps’ the sheet (fabric) in a similar way that mass from planets, stars or black holes warp space around them.

Now imagine that something bends the fabric so much - almost like folding a towel in half - that a point on one end of the fabric comes in contact with a point on the far side of the fabric. Now you can virtually jump from one point in space to another point, covering what would normally be a great distance nearly instantly.

I’ve been drinking and that’s the best I can do 🤣✌️

Best explanation I’ve seen tbh

Though I don’t condone teaching tipsy, you might be an exception.

Edit: Wording
