Space is not empty. It is filled with the aether-like substance called "elysium". This gives ordinary matter wave-like properties. For ordinary matter to move through elysium would be like propelling a sponge underwater. This drag-like effect prevents ordinary matter from exceeding the speed of light unless propelled by a force that itself travels faster than light, such as gravity. In the case of spin, gravity is not the force acting to maintain or increase the spin.

In principle, it is possible to create a super-dense mass that would not be limited by elysium. But ordinary matter is limited by it. -|Tom|-

But is'nt this exactly what a "Mitchell star" is? A super dense mass with no space (room) for elysium in between its particles? Given that the only friction would be between it's outer layers and surrounding 'space'?
But then again the elysium around this object itself might be so dense that the friction might halt any rotation of the star.
