| Title | Letter from Thomas Gold to Professor H Bondi, Surrey, England |
| Date | 12 October 1965 |
| Description | Says that 'Your two letters look very exciting to me. In a preliminary quick study of them it seems to me that all your assumptions are entirely reasonable. I am inclined to believe now that Rotators on all scales exist and perhaps are very common ... I am contemplating also the significance of Rotators to the origin of the solar system, for it may be that Rotators are a common prestar phase and their disruption such as by an external disturbance might lead to a formation of a central blob of low angular momentum and a surrounding disk. A disturbance from outside seems to be required in any case to make the 7 degrees between the plane of the solar system and the equator of the sun'. It looks as if Thomas Gold and Hermann Bondi were publishing a paper as Gold asks Bondi how long the RAS takes to publish 'nowadays'. He then says that 'We could, of course, send it to the Ap.J or the Royal Society'. |
