Default Space doesn't curve. But Spacetime Does.

Space can also be curved in general relativity. Curved space is an
important idea in cosmology. The Friedmann equations, which are
solutions to the field equations of relativity, have a term normally
denoted as 'k' whose value depends on whether three-dimensional space
is flat, positively curved, or negatively curved.


The FLRW metric, as one of the infinite solutions to the field
equations, exhibits the following spacetime where it does not even
satisfy the Newtonian law of gravity at weaker expansions.

** ds^2 = c^2 dt^2 – Q(t) (dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)

Where

** Q(t) = expansion term as a function of time only

It is a linear expansion of space. Thus, technically, it does not
deal with curvature of space. shrug Also, since it does not
satisfy Newtonian law of gravity at short distances, the metric is
just garbage. Yes, the field equations are also garbage. shrug

There are also vacuum solutions that explain the accelerated expanding
universe at cosmic scales while degenerates into Newtonian law of
gravity at more humble scale. With that said, there are no solutions
that allow flat space with gravitational time dilation. shrug

For merely $99,999, yours truly will design a universe with a metric
that satisfies as a solution to the field equations according to the
laws of your specifications. shrug

time isn't curved, except by birth & death; that is,
subjectively. no-one knows, whether or not Universe in finite,
let alone time.

space is manifestly curved, as shown
by Kepler's three orbital constraints (or
Newton's mere algebraization of them).

Brian, in your world & in your case that may be so.
Surely tome is not curved but your mind is. apparently
since birth... ahahaha... You are always good for a
chuckle... ahahaha... ahahahanson
