re: " If the star is above that critical mass but spinning, the centrifugal force can help keep the star from collapsing right away"
I still resent my Grade 11/12 physics teacher for insisting that there was no such thing as centrifugal force, and that what was really occurring was centripetal acceleration only. He basically decided that newtons third law would not exist in his classroom.
