The theory of relativity sets limits to rotational speed for an object of a certain diameter. When the rotational speed or diameter increases, a point on the perimeter will move faster, but cannot move faster than the speed of light. If the rotational center is made to move faster, the rotating object will deform so that the perimeter moves at its allowed speed. This effect can be noted on computer hard disks.
