If Nix isn't held together by gravity, then what the hell is keeping it from floating apart?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 5 13:50:12 2016 No.7764024 Your perception of gravity is wrong. It is a weak force, but it is a 'push' force not a pull one. Dark energy reacts against matter, it is pushing nix together.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 5 14:43:00 2016 No.7764114 Gravity, Electromagnetism, the weak force and the strong force keep Nix's shape as well as inertia.

It's the same force that keeps a chunk of rock together down here on Earth: electrostatic attraction. The thing is basically a giant pebble

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 5 14:58:00 2016 No.7764146 >>7763830 Pebbles on earth aren't being kept together by gravity either why don't they float apart?
