THE development of planets from a filament of material formed between two separating stars may not prove so great a difficulty in the theory of the origin of the solar system as is suggested in Dr. Jeffreys' recent letter1. It has generally been maintained that the filament would be of such small mass and at such high temperature that its immediate dispersal would occur by lateral expansion. But this view neglects the force field of the two stars transverse to their line of centres, which in the early stages is enormously in excess of the gravitational field of the filament and of enough strength to control thermal velocities due to stellar temperature.
