Are there any perfectly round objects in the universe?

>>11458611
Neutron stars are pretty smooth but can bulge at the equator if spinning fast so not perfectly spheroidal.

Probably not in this dimension, not that we can sense with our avatar anyway. The fields are but we need to use equipment to detect it

I guess when they fully wind down they'll be perfectly round.

you know how we picture or depict gravity, we picture/display it as a Cartesian grid of squares?

what if instead of a Cartesian grid of squares, it were a grid of overlapping circles? (I'm not sure what this kind of grid is called) If this were the case, then gravity in empty space be prefect circles (in b4 it is)

A sphere could be considered as a perfectly round abstract object. Its abstraction doesn't mean it isn't a part of the universe.
