What indeed? Neutron stars can't get indefinitely big; at some
point one gets a singularity. Even the fact that neutron stars
exist at all is a limit; the Pauli Exclusion Principle apparently
has failed at such stress levels, which is a little puzzling to
me personally but presumably there's a theoretical physicist
about that might be able to explain it... :-)

No proof possible. We have reasonably good evidence, however.
We're accelerating protons to the tera-electron-volt level
and they're still not traveling fast enough. :-)

It's still legal to go .sigless.
