Extract

The hypothesis of Laplace on the genesis of the solar system from an extensive nebula presents difficulties of so serious a character that important modifications appear to be required in order to make it conformable with the laws of dynamics. The objection most frequently brought forward refers to the mode in which Laplace assumes the separation of the planets from the contracting nebula to have taken place.
