    We should get more of these here. My Arxiv queue is all inference stuff, this is fun!

    One of the cool facts about gravity is that the gravitational field of a body 'feels' spherical at a distance, even if those bodies are not spherical themselves. There are higher multipoles but they are increasingly suppressed the further you are from the body. So at least for gravity the spherical approximation turns out to be good and justified.

    My physics teacher takes the spherical roast beef as an example for heat convection.

    Berkeley has been on the frontier of cow detection and tracking for decades.

    Hmmm… Today is Sep 1st, not Apr 1st. That cow is a bit out of season :)

    Anna Cramling, women’s international chess master, should review this paper, having popularized the Cow Opening.

      Seems legitimate to me. Did you find any technical error?
