Shukla solar magneto disk theory

Abstract

The current Nebula Hypothesis does not explain the origin of the required initial torque in the early protoplanetary disc, since gravitational forces only pull matter inward and cannot generate torque by themselves. To address this gap, the Shukla Solar Magneto Disc Theory (SSMD Theory) is proposed. The theory suggests that the primordial solar nebula was ionized and sensitive to magnetic fields, while the Sun’s magnetic field was exceptionally strong in its early stage. Under these conditions, Lorentz forces imparted an anticlockwise initial torque to the charged particles of the nebula in the direction of the Sun’s magnetic field, which has been conserved in planetary motion to this day. Thus, SSMD Theory provides a comprehensive framework to understand the role of magnetic forces and the origin of initial torque in the formation of the solar system.
