Of course, no matter how fast it's spinning, you get less and less of it as you move toward either pole, to the point that, barring climbing gear, you never would -- you'd eventually reach a point where the centripetal force and the star's gravity cancel each other out, making you weightless, and your next step would send you flying away from the sphere and begin your fall into the star. This point would likely be this world's equivalent of our Arctic/Antarctic Circles. | |
