Relativity actually tells us what real &quot;holes in space&quot; do. I&#x27;m not kidding. And the answer is that they <i>explode</i> as they collapse, releasing massive amounts of energy as the vacuum is disturbed, because any macroscopic spatial distortion is massively, massively energetic, in the sense where all my uses of the word &quot;massive&quot; <i>is not actually metaphorical</i>. Explosions equivalent to rather enormous amounts of mass, as energy.<p>No, there&#x27;s no hole through space here.
