The Seasons and The Day

The more you move away from the notion of Aromanthen’s golden ship, the more improbable it becomes that such a massive distant object should hurtle around our world each day. Anyone who has seen that game where an adult whirls a child around, will know that a child cannot hope to whirl their adult play friend around themselves in return. It is a question of mass.

The inescapable conclusion is that the world whirls around the sun. And it does so at the much more sedate pace of once per year.

So where does the day come from? As soon as the illusion of one’s own eyes is dispensed with, so much makes sense. The day is explained by the world spinning on its own axis.

The seasons are explained by this axis being fixed so that a different aspect of the world is exposed to different degrees of sunshine throughout the year. Mulen’s sticks with their shadows confirm that the world spins at an angle to the sun. The variation in the days during the seasons fit this pattern also.

A Note on the Adoption of Cosmological Theory

None of this is written here is new theory. No claim is made to its originality. It has been written before by greater minds than mine. Yet the wonder it that it is not held important by ordinary people.

So Aromanthen continues to soar by day, the Companion strides the night sky, Old Mother Frost makes her journey out of the north each winter, forcing Aromanthen to take his ship every further south until she has cloaked the north-lands in snow. Only when she has given birth to her new daughter in spring each year, will Aromanthen return to collect his bride. So do ordinary people understand the cosmos.
