Evidence

[edit]

Could the author of the page provide a little more reliable evidence to back up his or her claims? I have never seen stated elsewhere that the Sun does not, in fact, hold the vast majority of the solar system's angular momentum.

I've come here because I've been sent a preprint about this. The point is that you have to include the orbital angular momentum, and in view of Jupiter's large mass that is quite considerable so I can believe the statement. And as it happens I know the Leon Mestel who is said to have identified this first — he was a lecturer in Cambridge when I was doing Part II Maths there.
I'm also critical of the suggestion that the article is too technical for most readers to understand. Angular momentum is a fairly intuitive idea and I've just added a link to the article on the subject for the benefit of readers who are uncertain about it.--Brian Josephson (talk) 08:30, 23 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yeah looking at the abstract, there are big red flags of crackpot and the "journal" itself is filled with the same sort of stuff. It's just a nutter who thinks their pet theory supersedes reality. ThePinkPanzer 1 (talk) 10:03, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
