Question

Who developed the nebular hypothesis of the solar systems origin in the mid 1700’s?

Answer 1

The nebular hypothesis of the solar system's origin was developed in the mid-1700s by the philosopher and scientist Immanuel Kant. He proposed that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust. The idea was later elaborated upon by Pierre-Simon Laplace in the late 18th century, who provided a more detailed mathematical framework for the hypothesis. Together, their work laid the foundation for our understanding of the formation of the solar system.
