   I prepare the extended body in spherical form while I am FAR away from   
   any gravity which, by its nature, is NEVER homogeneous as it ALWAYS   
   decreases with distance.

   In fact I would do it by staying VERY FAR from every star and from every   
   planet.   
      
   And if then I approached a neutron star, the sphere would make me   
   understand that there is an external (tidal) force because it EXTEND!
