A vacuum doesn’t exist in reality. In addition to virtual particles, gravity travels forever afaik. Which means your rotating sphere will interact with matter no matter how far away it is. Unless you’re hypothesizing a universe that doesn’t exist. In which case, we can also hypothesize one where the 2nd law isn’t an issue.
Also, I’m not so sure that black body radiation wouldn’t have an impact on rotation. At some point, the object will have radiated all its heat and have no energy left. If the particles have no energy, how is the sphere rotating which implies kinetic energy? That implies that even when radiating uniformly, black body radiation must take away angular velocity, no?
