Ive held a similar hypothesis myself since college. I never really liked the contemporary explanations, they didnt account for a lot of things for me. I would think that if we were the products of a solar disc, there would be far more sedimentary dust floating around still, a solar haze. But its pretty blank out there between orbits. I figure that in the suns younger, more violent pubescent stages, it was probably firing off a lot more powerful CMEs far more frequently. All that ejected plasma would blast out into space like a rocket leaving earth, and either fall back towards the sun, escape the solar gravity, or far less often freefall into an orbital arc around its birthright. I initially came up with my theory while at ARC. That morning, I spent some time explaining gel electrophoresis to some biology students in MESA, while working up some column chromatography results from a chem lab, while complaining about not enough centrifuges going to be available for the next lab. That afternoon, back at MESA, Danny and I were going over a physics homework assignment regarding recalculating G for various planets in our solar system. We were killing time by running mass/density ranges through Theorist graphs, when we realized that there should be a relative scale of ratios as you increase the distance from the sun. We were kind of surprised when there really wasnt. But, if we took into account that the primordial ooze that formed us cooled a lot faster and in greater densities, it starts to make more sense. If we pre-calculated for trajectories of specific quantities of mass by density/volume, the target values become far better predictable. In basic physics, its the hypothetical baseball player with an amazing throwing arm. Or the rocket launcher with different sized rockets with different degrees of thrust. Not enough, the ball/rocked crashes back to earth at a calculated distance. Too much and it escapes never to return. But just the right mass/force would allow the ball/rocket to shoot out far enough, that when it finally started to fall back due to gravity, it would overshoot the curve of the surface and fly back out into space. The longer it kept missing the surface, the cooler it became. If it never falls back into the sun, it achieves and elliptical orbit around it (disc theory would find more uniformly concentric orbits). The size of mass and relative density of the ejected mass determines the inertia and cooling rate of the material. The denser the material, the likeliness that it would cool into denser solids, comprised of denser atoms and molecules. The lighter materials would cool into simpler particles that weigh less. The interaction of temperature, centripetal and gravimetric forces, and time would combine the fundamental principles of column chromatography, electrophoresis, centrifugal separation with projectile physics. As our next generation of telescopes give us a better glimpse of far away systems, we may get an unprecedented view of other solar systems still in their infancy, billions of years ago. Based on our most recent discoveries in heliophysics, we may find supporting data for the stellar shockwave theory. The disc theory doesnt make as much sense when we look at just how violent creation is throughout the rest of the known universe.
