| Mar 16, 2018 at 4:13 | comment | added | A.V.S. | I never suggested otherwise. From your updated answer (and Cipolletta et al) I see that this maximum rotation still has a finite 'gap' from a black hole. The constructions that I dug up do not require stiff equations of state and would approach extremal Kerr (from the 'other side' to black hole's) arbitrarily close. | |
