The flexibility of the gravity crystal concept allows exploration of the same physics that governs oxygen-carbon stratification within cool white dwarf stars. This can be observed by mixing different mass spheres (copper and aluminum) in "Alina's bowl," a shallow stainless-steel kitchen mixing bowl. Once voltage is applied, the heavier copper balls "sink" to the bowl center and separate from the lighter aluminum balls.
