... The classic example of an unstable system is a pencil standing on its point. If one could get the pencil to balance completely perfectly, it would be in equilibrium. However, any small perturbation that causes the pencil to tilt slightly will grow, and the pencil will fall over. We need to make sure ...

Over time, the internal structure of the star will change and mass and angular momentum may be lost. This ...
