Spacetime is an emergent property of quantum entanglement, that "spooky" action at a distance effect that links two (or more) particles or volume quanta together in a quantum state. Whereby if we measure a property of one of the particles, such as spin angular momentum, then that property is known for the other particle no matter how far away it is from the first particle.
It must be remembered that the measured property did not have a fixed value before measurement, it only assumed the value at the moment of measurement, and because the distant particle was entangled with the measured particle then it also assumed the complementary value at the same time, i.e. action at a distance.
Thus, entanglement knits together spacetime through particles and volume quanta sharing a common quantum state. But if enough of these entanglements are “broken” then spacetime starts to “unravel.” And the unraveling spreads at the speed of light. Fortunately, the effects of this unraveling dissipate over distance.
Common ways to cause this unraveling is to repeatedly create wormhole pairs without a reservoir of entangled particles. If this is done often enough spacetime will begin to “atomize” or breakup. A more spectacular way to cause this phenomenon is to concentrate too much energy in too small a space as with a wormhole drive.
Spacetime may breakdown at differing scales. On the smallest scale even, the human body can be affected. Symptoms of spacetime breakdown felt by humans are severe headache, nausea, muscle aches . . .
