Two models for the origin of the Solar System, the Nebula Theory
and the Capture Theory, are discussed by protagonists, Simon and
Steven respectively, in the presence of Solomon, who oversees the
discussions. Modelled on Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two
Chief World Systems, this book provides new insight into different
theories of cosmogony.The Nebula Theory, at present the standard
model of planet formation, proposes that a star and planets are
derived from a single spinning nebula. Woolfson here introduces an
alternative, the Capture Theory, in which planets are produced from
a protostar tidally disrupted by a condensed star which 'captures'
most of the formed planets into orbits. These complex ideas are
simplified and presented in an easily understandable, accessible
way for all students of physics, astronomy, cosmology and those
interested in the beginning of our world as we know it.
