An incredible pressure creates drift — without attempting to map molecular drift or wave mechanics – examples of natural drift in atmospherics is the polar Aurorae – the research of which led to television and this computer screen’s Light Emitting Diodes…

Fair enough.

I am not sure about the North Pole and never having gone to Antarctica — I know that this happens

To spread out and invoke the image – the stars in the night sky swim like wandering fish — the closer to the pole due to stellar rotation- long days long nights.

In terms of time – even in the Time’s Arrow model there are at least three times I am aware of on Earth – Solar Time, Atomic Time and Sidereal Time – each just different to the other by a matter of seconds or in the case of Sidereal Time (Time by Stars) 4-6 minutes…ripped off! 🙂
