Nope , Gravitys effects travel at the speed of light. Confirmed by Ligo. We see the ripples of gravity from stellar mergers simultaneous, or slightly before (space isnt quite a vacuum) the light from whatever caused it.

Spacetime can not "tear". The whole "fabric" thing is a somewhat poor metaphor. Space is space, its just emptiness. That it has a manifold geometry associated with the spacetime metric is besides the point. So no because 1) You cant "tear"the spacetime manifold, and 2) If somehow you did...

If the universe is infinite, its meaningless to say how many times has it "doubled". Due to inflation of the spacetime metric, the visible universe has expanded from 13.7(thereabouts) bil ly radius , to 46.5 bil ly radius, an expansion of around 3.39 or 339% So its doubled on and a half...

Why bother? The guy asserts a number things aren't true that you can pick up a telescope and see with your own eyes. Relativity has a century of experiments and nobody has ever encountered an instance of an experiment. And yet we have yet another "I wrote a website that disproves einstein" guy...
