Hmmm, a point on the pulsar’s equator travels then @ ...10mi diameter x pi x 7 rotations/sec * 3600 secs = 791,280 mph.

Compare to Earth’s 1000 mph, or the Moon’s paltry 10 mph.

It really hurts the mind,doesn't it.
Centrifugal force is trying to rip it apart and gravity is holding it together. Ouch.
