Stellar Whirlpools

The underlying idea is that some entity flows above the Earth in a whirlpool-like form. This creates rotational motion, and it is in this that celestial objects exist. Commonly it is called aether.

For example, the stars exist in such a whirlpool. As a result, they will appear to rotate about one point. The same will also hold for the Sun and moon.

In the case of the Sun, however, as it travels in a circle, the radius of this circle changes. This is what causes seasons to change. Sometimes there will be 24 hour sunlight at the central pole, but when the Sun is further out no sunlight would reach it.

The number of whirlpools is a subject of study. There may be one, or the flows may recombine at multiple altitudes. The latter not only has objects rotating at multiple altitudes, but in some cases to explain how gravity can vary based on altitude. This happens when the whirlpools are caused by universal acceleration, meaning when you ascend there is more accelerator pushin gon you, and so more to counteract the downwards force.
