Dialogue Concerning The Two Chief Models Of Planet Formation, A
Published by World Scientific Europe Ltd, 2017

Language: English

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. 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.

"A Capture Theory, of the Origin of the Solar System" in "Proceedings of the Royal Society of London."
Published by Royal Society, London., 1964
Seller: JF Ptak Science Books, Hendersonville, NC, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
No Binding. Condition: Fine. Michael Mark Woolfson, "A Capture Theory, of the Origin of the Solar System" in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series A, 1964 vol 282. The Woolfson appears on pp 485-505in the full bound volume of iv, 596pp. [++] Finely and newly rebound in cloth-backed marbled boards, with new endpapers. Fine copy. The binding and boards have been antiqued by the bookbinder so that the volume doesn't have the biblio-equivalent of that "new car smell". Really, though, the binder did a fabulous job with this.[++] The abstract of the Woolfson (1927-2021) paper is actually very concise and sums up the paper quite nicelynamely that a protostar or some such came into close proximity with what would become our Sun, but was ripped apart the remnants of which became our planets and then forming into our very own solar system. So:--"Abstract: A theory of the origin of the Solar System is described which involves the capture of material from a light diffuse star which passed close to the Sun. It is shown that planetary condensations could be formed and that these would take up orbits with radii having the required range of values." [++] "[Woolfson's] position in Manchester required that [he] teach a variety of courses, and this helped stimulate his interest in other areas of physics. An astronomy textbook discussed theories on the origin of the Solar System, none of which seemed completely satisfactory, so Michael designed a model that he christened the Capture theory. It invoked a mechanism for the formation of the Solar System involving a tidal interaction between a condensed Sun and a collapsing protostar with the capture of protostar material by the Sun. The hypothesis was tested by computer modeling and found to be plausible."Biographical Memoirs of the Fellows of the Royal Society, vol 71, December 2021.
