Yes, in quite a close sense, space(time) is a fabric.
​
A fabric that can stretch, things can move through it w/o tearing it. It never wears out? How much would a square foot of it weigh?
What is this fabric made of? How far can it stretch before breaking? What is it stretching into? How would someone grab this fabric to stretch it? Has anyone recreated this stretching?
