LOL. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Saturn has rings. :-)
The idea that gravity *must* turn *everything* into a more or less
spherical glob is absurd.
BTW, you can read <http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmo_constant.html>,
which mentions the cosmological constant (proposed by Einstein, but
subsequently dropped when evidence was discovered showing that the
universe was expanding, and now being reconsidered).
It's a lot more complicated than you think.
