THEORIES OF ORGIN OF UNIVERSE - 2
PLANETESIMAL HYPOTHESIS :
Found by: Chamberlin & Moulton
Year : 1905
Country : America
Theory :
They said the planets are formed from already existing sun
Another Intruding star with the same mass once passed close by the sun.
A Tidal attraction inducted by the mutual gravitational pull of two stars
Due to angular momentum disk-shaped particles formed
Particles moved with the star for some distance
The solid particles are called planetesimals
These planetesimals gave rise to planets
CRITICISM :
It explains the alignment and motion of orbital planes
Ejection is only possible when the star is moving close(within 2 or 3 solar radii)
In that case, the ejected material will be traveling with escape velocity, and it's not possible.
