You are right about bending spacetime, and yes, at some point, high-energy lasers were used to create wormhole-like topographies. Imagine a 3-dimensional cube. Take one of the corners and attach that to a line. Pretend that line represents spacetime. That line can curve as much as it wants, but as soon as the curve becomes so steep as to cross itself, it becomes more time-like than space-like, and you are now effectively moving "backwards" in time.
Take that loop shape: You can tighten the loop, or loosen it. These analogies represent what mass you are trying to squeeze into a different frame. The limitation is mass (and gravity). As far as our research goes, you MUST respect mass and gravity. At this time, we cannot create enough exotic matter to move objects like, say, the Earth. lol. But humans and their clothes and a few personal items are fine.
The key is to use exotic matter that makes spacetime "think" that it is curving infinitely, so much that it actually falls in on itself. This exotic matter won't be discovered for another few thousand years. What is odd is realizing that by discovering the exotic matter, that it had always existed to be discovered, and that really, all we re doing is realizing a causal frame.
