The problem with your hypothesis is that gravity acts over an infinite range; it becomes exponentially less influential over distance but its still there. Secondly the only humans to ever leave Earths sphere of gravitational influence (the Earths "gravity well" are the apollo astronauts, and the Earth looks just as round to someone on the ISS as to someone orbiting the Moon.

Why is it so hard for people to accept that globular hydrostatic equilibrium is the easiest shape for matter to assume in a space? It's something we can simulate fairly accurately on Earth.

what is the most complex ongoing process that you can fit into a 1x1x1m cube? the goal is to have as many elements as possible interacting in many ways as possible for as long as possible. for example, a simple gas with its molecules bouncing off each other (brownian mechanics) won't cut it. an ecosystem might
