A modified tidal theory for the origin of the solar system is proposed, whereby the already-condensed sun interacts with a diffuse protostar to capture protoplanetary material. Protoplanets then condense from this material, and satellites are formed by the rotational instability of protoplanets in their final stages of collapse. A three-dimensional point-mass model is outlined, in which interactions between points are calculated to simulate gravity, gas pressure, pressure gradients, and viscous effects. On the basis of the model, it is estimated that one million stars per galaxy should have a planetary system.
