Let us begin with a close examination of the concept of global density of matter. As with the concept of the length of a coastline, things seem simple, but in fact go awry very quickly and most interestingly. To define and measure density, one starts with the mass M(R) in a sphere of radius R centered on Earth. The approximated density ... is evaluated. After that, the value of R is made to tend toward infinity, and the global density is defined as the limit toward which the approximate density converges.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - global%20density
