Hi RL

Woolfson's Capture theory has been around since c. 1964 so it's actually older than the current disk accretion concept, which popped up in the early 1970s. The key problem with the CT back then was the low rate of planet formation - but now the star number density of the embedded phase of the Sun is known to be much higher this became an irrelevance.

The Disk model has some pretty major issues, though a lot of clever people have thought out a variety of possible solutions. But there's no current front runner. Surely worked out, physical theories like the CT have a place in the cosmogonic toolbox?
