Is there any discovered 'weight' limit?
By this question, I mean has anyone theorised how much gravity one cubic micron of space can handle before the universe tears itself a new wormhole?

I don't know about a weight limit, but I think there's a height limit :wink:

You can certainly calculate what the density is needed for a given volume to become a black hole, but that density goes down as the volume goes up - at one point it was considered possible that the entire universe was a black hole.
Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

Yep there's a few rough guides as to the density within a region of space thta is needed for graviational collapse to occur, however once we start talking about mass and 'weight' within a region of spacetime we're talking about propertiew sthta are not necessarily very easy to define.

Yup, you start sliding into the realm of energy densities of barionic matter vs. radiation vs. vacuum energy vs. darkmatter vs....... :-?
