We note that theoretical such as angular momentum and space/time
warp can be discussed in hallowed terms here, but the theoretical
concept of spin speed CANNOT be entertained. Is this because it
is OUR statement Paul, and not something a human uttered?
Theoretical spin speed is fastest toward the center of a spinning
object, and this is why the spin speed increases as the area
decreases. There is less drag on the periphery, from all the many
factors that constitute drag.
