Does the space curvature want it to become flat?

I've read that mass bends the fabric of space. So does space want this curvature to become flat? I know it's a different question. but I think some systems still want to come back to normal.

Does this fabric interact with the mass to return to flat? (maybe in secret), Does this fabric have a limit?

This is a problem with all analogies - they fail when pushed too far... – Jon Custer Jan 18 '23 at 17:31
It makes sense, after all, Newton's first law also wants to keep its state. Such is the case with the curvature of space. – kirismasdada Jan 18 '23 at 17:38
Space is not deformed, its curved in initial state... – Vid Jan 18 '23 at 22:00

I think this question is a duplicate of: How space regains its neutral shape in the absence of massive objects? (Related: note by Kirk T. McDonald, titled 'what is the stiffness of spacetime?' – Cleonis Jan 18 '23 at 22:04

No, the fabric doesn't want to be flat. You need an iron to iron the curves out. – MBN Jan 19 '23 at 09:19

and starch. Mustn't forget the starch. – Jiminy Cricket. Jan 19 '23 at 09:41
