Candle flames move up, away from Earth. That is koz the aetherwind acceleration is down, ie giving a downwards gravity.
So if here in the UK the aetherwind is blowing down, in Australia it must be blowing up and candle flames head downwards?
The alternative, that the aetherwind is blowing towards the center of the Earth regardless of where you stand, seems unlikely since then there would be significant aetherpressuretm building up until it must... what? Explode? Just disappear?
I did say that gravity is due to the acceleration of the aetherwind. So, i wondered why u made a strawman that i said that aetherwind caused gravity. But on reading my last comment i do see that i added the throw-away line that aetherwind can have a velocity of c+V or c-V, & that must have confused u. Teacher's mistake-1.
If the aetherwind is steady then there is no acceleration of the aetherwind & zero pressure & zero gravity. Objects retain their uniform velocity.
The aetherwind in Australia is indeed blowing down, but the acceleration of the aetherwind is towards the center of the Earth everywhere on Earth. Hence gravity is down, everywhere on Earth. Acceleration causes an aether pressure.
The inflow streamlines that i alluded to are streamlines of aether acceleration, not streamlines of velocity or speed. The streamlines represent the acceleration field, not the velocity field. Teacher's mistake-2.
Anyhow, the streamlines converge towards the center of Earth, in 3 dimensions, hence the acceleration has a 1/RR relationship, which accords with the standard equation for gravitational attraction tween masses.
Gravity causes the candle flame to go upwards, hence we do indeed feel & see the action of the aether (crudely put), which was my answer to that question. Anything & everything to do with gravity fits, its all a feeling & seeing of the action of the aether.
Penfold asked, what interaction is there tween flame & aether, & does aether cause a deflection of the flame.
Aether does indeed cause a deflection, it causes the flame to go up.
I wonder whether there has been a flame on spacelab?
