While the planetary orbits are nearly in the same plane, they are in sufficiently different planes that either the inclination has to be taken as an initial condition or there has to be some driving mechanism. This mechanism must either take the planets out of their common plane or bring them towards the common plane. It was suggested that the General Relativistic force due to solar rotation, acting over sufficiently long times might provide the former mechanism. Using the pseudo-Newtonian formalism to express relativity in terms of forces, it is shown that the inclination could not be an initial condition. A generally accepted model of the early stages of the formation of the solar system is used to follow up the suggestion more concretely.
