THE ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

 

 

ABSTRACT

 

          Our solar system is a very inyeresting place consisting of a star which has 8 planets   and their moons a dwarf planet and an asteroid belt along with two comet belts at its outer edges.

 

          The question is How did this system arise?

 

          The generally accepted theory, with modifications, is that a very large cloud of mostly hydrogen and helium collected in this region of space. This cloud contained all the elements we now have plus some which we don't.( Technicium and Promethium). The theory speculates that all this material was a debris field from a long since quiet supernova explosion that occurred sometime before the solar system formed.

 

          As this cloud of material contracted due to gravity it formed a protostar with a disk that contained all the material that is included in the planets, moons, asteroid belt and possibly the comets.

 

          The disk material then somehow started to collect into small particles which grew larger and larger and then formed the planets and the moons asteroids etc.

 

          This never made sense to me after studying physics and Newton's Laws, Kepler's laws and other things I decided it was wrong  and  tried to figure out how our solar system came to be.

         

          In 1996  I developed my NOVA theory which can explain how our solar system must have formed
