Physics

In the 1940s, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker developed model for the formation of stars from accreting gas. In order to agree with observations, those models had to invoke a yet unknown mechanism for angular momentum redistribution. If matter is to fall inward it must lose not only gravitational energy but also lose angular momentum. Since the total angular momentum of the disk is conserved, the angular momentum
