How about one of those Neutron stars spinning at 714Mhz? When my machine is idle it looks for pulsars through the Einstein@home project. Gotta love it. AN object about 14km across making 714 rotations per second.


A massive star has seconds to live the instant it fuses silicon into iron. Amazing how even one of the smallest objects can wipe out one of the larger ones.
714Mhz is 714, 000, 000 rotations per second

Yeah. The fastest recorded is 1122 Hz, but even that is unconfirmed.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Sorry, it was Hz not Mhz. Still freakin fast for an object that size.
The 1122 Hz one supposedly is not possible due to physics. Maybe it is actually 2 very close together at the end of their death spiral.
