Description: The author develops the idea that the formation of the solar system was triggered by the explosion of a supernova near a compressed interstellar cloud, which was further compressed by the supernova ejecta until it went over the threshold for gravitational collapse. During the collapse it is expected that the cloud would fragment into much smaller pieces. The principle source of friction in the collapsing nebula is taken to be turbulent viscosity, the required stirring having been supplied possibly by meridional circulation currents. The theory can be shown to account for how a great deal of condensed matter in the form of cometary bodies could be put into elliptical orbits extending toward 100,000 AU, the region of the Oort reservoir.
