Dear Mr. WRong:

Immanuel Kant first proposed in 1755, and Pierre Simon de
Laplace somewhat later, the nebular theory of the formation
of the solar system.

Kant suggested that the sun and the planets condensed long
ago from a self-gravitating, rotating cloud of gas. He had seen
spiral nebulae through telescopes, and thought they looked
like rotating clouds of gas. He was roughly right as it turned out.

Laplace suggested that the planets originally condensed from
hot gases.

The best modern models of the formation of the solar system
work along these basic lines.

These models do NOT violate any of the laws of thermodynamics,
on the contrary they obey all the laws of thermodynamics.

Heat energy is radiated away, and some of the initial
mass of the proto-solar system is driven out, into
the colder, emptier surrounding space during the process
of formation of the sun and the planets. This is not
a process that occurs in thermodynamic and chemical
equilibrium.

HTH. HAND.
