In this video simulation of a black hole merger taken from wikipedia, there's a moment before they merge where the two wells begin to form a saddle shape. The edges of the saddle then begin to creep UP, above the plane, and at their highest point ~0:21 appear to have crept so high they're above the height of the black hole(s) before settling down into a single gravity well. It's a gravity peak rather than a trough, momentarily.
What does this actually mean for spacetime to be so dramatically warped upward rather than downward into a well?

Depends on what you mean by what it means.

I think they start to travel at light speed

Maybe it's an artifact from the calculation?

Oscillations in spacetime by gravitational waves.
It's not a peak in gravity but a bending of space (and time).

antigravity, but really you being squished in one direction and pulled apart in the opposite by forces that break atomic nuclei.

The arrows are pointing the wrong direction, on those peaks.
Are you sure this calculation in right? Where did you get it?

more likely that's the limit where the model starts to diverge from reality and not make sense.

A black hole has a gravity well from which even light cannot escape.Now take two of these great suckers. What happens when light is pulled equally strongly from them? While rotating? The shearing gets so strong they each help light escape each other's gravity well and gets sent out who knows where.Think of it as you squeezing the last few bits of toothpaste out of a tube.This can be observed btw.

All these black hole videos are based on solutions to the Einstein equations that are certainly false, that's why they have those weird artifacts that can't be explained. It is funny how fake black hole physics has taken on a religious quality among westerners and scientists. I wonder how they will react once it becomes undeniable that all of Hawking and Penrose's work was bullshit.

gravity is not a 2d sheet being deformed by "weight" so the animation is just a simplification

It's a simulated mathematical model.It is completely possible that at these extremes, the math isn't accurate. Studying the extremes of accepted models would lead to new discoveries.

You're only being shown a single 2d plane being warped by gravity.
In reality the force being shown is happening at all points, in all directions.
In any case the "gravity peak" is the energy expelled during the collapse (the supposed gravity wave that was detected). Nothing more.Of course this all requires the notion that the theories are mostly correct.
What if gravity is simply some odd property of mass and has no percievable field or mechanism, or particle or dimension, and only the observations of what mass does to spacetime aftually exist. Freaky thought mmm?

Physics "simulation" on a normal computer (and those fake qcs you see in the news from time to time) is simply a approximation, only a True Quantum Computer can truly simulate physics.
