I would appreciate any explanation based on the mechanical
properties of aether. I don't want an explanation directly based on
Maxwell's equations, except if you can connect the mechanical
properties of the aether to Maxwell's equations. I am not particularly
interested in space-time, cosmology, Big Bang, steady state or
inflationary cosmology. I am interested only in this obvious and
intuitive aether model of electromagnetic phenomena.

Why does the sun appear to rise in the east, move across the sky and set
in the west?

I would appreciate any explanation based on the mechanical
properties of Apollo's fiery chariot. I don't want an explanation directly
based on celestial mechanics, except if you can connect the mechanical
properties of Apollo's chariot to celestial mechanics. I am not
particularly interested in Kepler's laws, cosmology, Big Bang, Newton's
laws or special relativity. I am interested only in this obvious and
intuitive Apollo's chariot model of the sunrise and sunset.

Nice one Micheal, way better than mine.
