Celestial Gravitation

Only some kinds of matter may exert gravitational attraction. The stars are one such entity under celestial gravitation.

Consequences
The gravitational pull of the stars will be more intense the higher you go. It was always be substantially weaker than the force that keeps us on the Earth's surface. It also has an effect on tides.

The combined gravitational force of a system of stars creates an object akin to a gear. This is not a literal gear, rather it is an entity made of the strong gravitational force that connects all the stars in that system.

This allows for there to be more than one gear. The Northern Celestial System rotates in one direction, while the Southern rotates in the other.

This means that we will see stars rotating around more than one distinct point in the sky, and we will find some small rotational force imparted to objects on the surface of the Earth, in opposite directions on each side of the equator. This is the Coriolis force.
