of calculus one is not philosophically or actually describing what the entire Universe is but instead how the mass energy in the Universe functions. The functions of mass-energy can be described with increasing degrees of accuracy with math and observation backing up the learned opinions about it. I am reminded of Thomas Aquinas' ideas about faith, reason and science however in considering the relationship of cosmological theory to reality'; for Aquinas science is to have backed up the faith one already has. Cosmology theory backs up the math and observational tools that one has.

Space-time warps may be a convention in relativity mathematical modeling, and they coincide with the astrophysical observations of the Universe to a certain extent. How far the accuracy goes is difficult to say, yet as space-time is compacted in black holes in theory to a singularity it cannot be certain what does actually occur.

Quantum cosmology definitely allows for non-locality of subatomic particles. All possible places in the Universe any individual particle might be is determined coincidentally with its actual position when noticed. Non-locality and universality exist in every aspect of the Universe it seems. The apparent Universe is something like a photographic negative warped around a flat plain in to a spherical shape. The picture has a lot of extra reality than the observer can be aware of in many respects, and the entire Universe may be thought to have many more such unusual properties by analogy. A book named 'New Theories of Everything' by Barrow 2007 has much mathematical review of contemporary theories of everything (cosmological theories). I will take a more conventional approach as a non-mathematician.

Time is a direction of the mass energy of the universe. Time is a sort of order in which particles and physical forces are associated. Thermodynamic probabilities mean that the Universe doesn't reverse its direction of time because the odds of doing so are greater than those of going forward. Reconstruction of select space-time locations in a reverse direction would be more complex, and likely would require some kind of intelligent design of local astrophysics alteration to occur.

Each location of space-time has its own degree of comparative space-time curvature. In areas with extreme curvature such as beyond the event horizon of black holes space-time could relate differently to extra-dimensions. It cannot be certain that mass-energy necessarily retains its usual relation
