[[File:Irrotational vortex.gif|thumb|The self-gravitational involution of a mass can be visualized as a series of concentric shells. The higher a shell, the lower its rotational frequency. If we sufficiently extend the series of concentric shells, then the outermost shell's rotational frequency will be zero, so that the shell will have the lowest (''i.e.'', zero) actual energy (''E''&nbsp;=&nbsp;[[w:Planck constant|''h'']][[w:frequency(contracted; show full)succeeded in converting many atomic nuclei into one nucleus.
