The following hypothesis was developed from a dream I once had...

The Nebular Hypothesis II by kksamurai


 

The Nebular Hypothesis in its original form was proposed by Kant and Laplace in the 18th century. The initial steps of their theory is indicated by the following two images.

Collapsing Clouds of Gas and Dust

A great cloud of gas and dust (called a nebula) begins to collapse because the gravitational forces that would like to collapse it overcome the forces associated with gas pressure that would like to expand it (the initial collapse might be triggered by a variety of perturbations such as a supernova blast wave, density waves in spiral galaxies, etc.).
 
             
In the Nebular Hypothesis, a cloud of gas and dust collapsed by gravity begins to spin faster because of angular momentum conservation

It is unlikely that such a nebula would be created with no angular momentum, so it is probably initially spinning slowly. Because of conservation of angular momentum, the cloud spins faster as it contracts. From this point onwards, this hypothesis differs from the current conventional theory.

The Spinning Nebula Continues to Compress

Because of the competing forces associated with gravity, gas pressure, and rotation, the contracting nebula begins to compress into a spinning spherical shape with a bulge at the center, as illustrated in the following images.
 
             
The collapsing, spinning nebula slowly begins to form a spherical shape

Condensation of Protosun

As the nebula collapses further, instabilities in the collapsing, rotating cloud causes the cloud to begin to contract gravitationally. This condensation will eventually form a spherical body we call a Sun.
 
            
As the nebula collapses further, a sun is formed

Evidence for this Nebular Hypothesis II

Because of the original angular momentum and subsequent evolution of the collapsing nebula, this hypothesis provides a natural explanation for some basic facts about the creation of a Sun.  This nebular hypothesis explains many of the basic features of the Solar System, but we still do not understand fully how all the details are accounted for by this hypothesis. Yet, as has been observed recently beyond our solar system, the existence of planets VERY NEAR their Sun (as illustrated below) appears to be more common than previously believed.

The birth of a planet

As the sun continues to exist, it is subject to the bombardment of various celestial bodies such as Comets and Asteroids. It quickly absorbs these celestial bodies, increasing in mass. But as time goes by, fission takes over and surplus materials added to the sun's mass by these bombardments are spun out into space causing the birth of a planet.
 

            
Through the process of fission, a new planet is formed 

The expansion or growth of a solar system

The following animated model better illustrates this process as a whole. As the mass of the sun increases, new planets are created using a repeat of the same process.
 

As a result of continual bombardment of the Sun by various celestial bodies, and through the process of fission,  new planets are continually formed 

As the Sun creates a new planet, the orbit of the previous planets expand or move outwards away from the sun, to make room for a new planet formed closest to the sun. As the solar system ages, more planets are created subject to the amount of bombardment and fission capabilities of the particular Sun.  Consequently,  the further a planet in any multiple planet solar system is from its Sun, the older it is.  A good example of this condition would be the comparison of Mars to Earth in our Solar System. Earth is the third planet from our Sun while Mars is the fourth, unless of course a new planet has recently been formed in our Solar System.

Therefore, based on my hypothesis, Mars would be a much older planet than Earth.

Just for the record, I developed my theory in October 1997.
