Although there is a high gravity on earth whirlpool's go in different direction between northern and southern hemispheres. I am not a science buff but like to ask silly question just in case I am right (or drop the plot on my head).

Yes it is indeed interesting.
I don't think that a "new science" is needed to explain it. GR, Newtonian and Classical Mechanics should be able to represent a system with reverse spin of planets against the parent star's rotation...what the issues is-is in the theory of colessence of matter and stellar [system] formation; the standard convention being that planets form in the same rotational direction as the parent star...ergo my reasoning that perhaps a second system provided the necessary motivation to get the material to reverse the rotation while the parent star was not affected...perhaps two gas masses with clockwise rotation, revolving around each other in an anti clockwise direction (Analogy: epicyclic gearing, without a central sun gear and with planetary gears which spin and revolve inside a fixed outer gear casing).
Spin direction of Whirlpools, like those large ornamental rock balls suspended and spinning on a layer of pressured water is an affect of Coriolis, in that the water and rock balls alike are resisting the changing motion (angular momentum mostly I believe) of the Earth and partly the Sun...it's inertia! Like a gyroscope provides "rigidity in space", so too the water and rock balls wish to remain at rest or uniform motion. The rotation of Earth and revolution around the Sun is a continual external influence against that resting "rigidity", thus the balls spin in sympathy and the water cork-screws down the plug-hole (opposite in Northern and Southern Hemispheres of course).
There is however a link (perhaps). It's pretty complex so I'll not attempt to give an exact explanation as I'm still getting the gist of it also, but in surveying curvature in spacetime, a Parallel Transfer will show that curvature is present. An inaccurate analogy would be; imagine a spinning Top (toy) stationary in space, if you walk around in a small circle with the Top and come back to the same position, either left or right, the Top will remain the same however, in curved space, a left hand circle will result in the Top coming back to the same position tilted at an angle. Go back the opposite way and it will come back to normal. Move in a right hand circle and the Top tilts in the opposite way to that of the left hand circle.
I think Riemann worked out Parallel Transfer as part of his work on Intrinsic Curvature and how it may be surveyed in Metric Tensor form...A lot of hard work was done well before Einstein was even born; Euler, Gauss and Riemann did most of it I'd have to say.
