Dec 6, 2016 at 18:32 comment added Spoilt Milk @HDE226868 But aren't they elliptical at some point of the orbital lifetime?
Dec 6, 2016 at 18:23 comment added HDE 226868 It's not at all true that objects in the Solar System originally had highly elliptical orbits. That contradicts everything we know about planet formation, both observationally and theoretically.

Nov 24, 2016 at 18:47 comment added James K I'm having difficulty understanding this question. I don't follow the reasoning that leads to "orbits become more and more elliptical and eventually become a straight line". The release of gravitational radiation is not a significant factor in the formation and evolution of the solar system. And I don't understand how you conclude that "the spread of matter happened along a line". This seems to be a complete non-sequitor
