The gigantic orb of burning hate in the sky, high-energy screams raging outward as proclamation of its destiny to eventually devour gaia's refuge once and for all?
I'm glad that you asked! The earth's rotation creates an energy field that brings the ether to rotate in sync with it, even at a distance. You can see the effects of this in the atmosphere in hurricanes. The ether is very light and so as the energy field spins the ether faster than the earth it creates the same fan effect but for our atmosphere. Hurricanes never cross the equator because that's where the forces of the earth spinning against the ether and pushing forward against the ether are perpendicular.
tldr: the earth is a really big fan and it makes hurricanes
The earth is spinning like really quickly all the time and we just don't notice it. Heat if a form of vibration, and so when heat is applied to the bottom of the fan the atoms there move more. A gyroscope resists tilting forces because it is spinning, and the earth is spinning, but the vibration of the fan decouples it from this effect. The blades are able to move freely and the earth moves around them, pushing air through the blades.
Cheese but I put minty toothpaste on them to make them temporarily taste like mint until they taste like cheese again.
