What is the name of the law that spins so fast it explodes?

We're trying to write a play involving science, and we are having a hard time coming up with the theory of something that spins so fast it explodes, and whatever that particle comes off goes in the same direction spinning. Could you tell what is the law or theory called?

Thanks for your help!

I guess you're looking for conservation of angular momentum, but that just has to do with the spinning part, not the explosion or particles.

You may be thinking of centrifugal or centripetal force, but I confuse them and a lot of other people do too so you'll want to look up both. I don't know that it would cause something to explode, but I suppose in theory anything could be made to spin so fast it would loose its own cohesion.

One thing, when your object eventually flies apart, or at leasts sheds a part, those parts would not generally "spin" in the same direction, but keep going in a STRAIGHT line in the direction of the spin. If flung off a planet (that was still intact) the object would make a curve only as a compromise between the straight out force and the planets gravity. But if the planet exploded all the parts would pretty much go straight out

thats centrifugal force

My first reaction was "The Patriot Act"... but honestly, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.
