Poincaré’s theory of rotating fluid masses
E1359331
UNEXPLORED
Poincaré’s theory of rotating fluid masses is a foundational framework in mathematical physics that analyzes the equilibrium shapes, stability, and dynamical behavior of self-gravitating, rotating fluid bodies such as stars and planets.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19132856 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
