spheroid

But now suppose that instead of such a spheroid, we assume one of, say, twenty or thirty times the mass; what will then happen?

A sphere cut from a uniaxial crystal at one temperature will be a spheroid at another temperature.

A sphere attracts as if its mass were concentrated at its centre (No. 12), but a spheroid does not.

Perhaps then, our spheroid will rest—will be left to death—to revive some day under superior conditions!
