Of course all dressaged physicists will rechurn "angular momentum conservation", thus the gas cloud which collapsed to form our planetary system has had a momentum already. But what happens to a cloud without any momentum? Lets imagine some gas just after the cosmos became transparent? BTW looking for an asymmetry of rotation distribution of galaxies is a topic recently. | |
