  - (Which… if it's super rotating and subrotating, wouldn't there be a point where it was equirotating, however briefly? And wouldn't that be "stopped"?) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 23, 16:32 5

      - But rotating in unison, at a synchronized speed - they'd be "stopped" from both frames of reference, no? -- nm* - Beryllium Jan 23, 17:18
    - Only if you assume the rotation vector changes in a continuous manner. You should apply for a grant to study that. -- nm - Baron, Vamp Champ Jan 23, 16:38

        True and if there's a really good artist they'll play in the city and not out on LI. -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 15:54 2
        
        Many now play both. Fact is UBS arena is willing to pay acts more money than MSG. They are getting big gets. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 16:44 1
        
        They have to pay more to get them to go there. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 17:26

    - not sure they can sell out the Rose Bowl in September but for sure not the end of Feb -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 15:33 3
      - They don't have to "sell out" to have a tremendous gross. But I'm not sure they can't sell out the Rose Bowl. 95k tickets? - zunk takes things literally Jan 23, 16:10
      - Never really understood Coldplay but this tour is MASSIVE. 10 nights sold out in Argentina for $50M among other insane records they have broken -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 15:36 1
