Right. What most people don't realize is that at planetary scale (or even at Moon scale) things are fluid. There are no solids at that scale. Gravity dominates all other interactions except gas pressure - and that only for things made mostly of gas.
That being said, I would love to see an accurate, 3D, high resolution simulation of the scenario described in Seveneves.
