Talking about this theory cannot be separated from the figure of Immanuel Kant. Besides being very well known as a philosopher, Kant also focused on studying various sciences. Starting from geology, astronomy to physics.
 
In his 1755 work entitled ‘The Universal Natural History and Theories of the Heavens’, he proposed a theory explaining the origin of the solar system. He argued that at first, the fog and gas in the sky rotated slowly and formed a flat disk with several mass nuclei.

The mass core in the center, has a high temperature and glows and forms the sun. Meanwhile, the core of the mass at the edges is cooling and slowly turning into a planet orbiting the sun.
Of course, at that time, Kant was not the only one who thought about the process of the emergence of the solar system. There is also a French astronomer named Pierre Simon De Laplace who thinks about the origin of the formation of the solar system.
In his book entitled ‘Exposition of a World System (1796)’, Laplace gives his statement about the process of formation of the solar system. In contrast to Kant who thought that the solar system originated from a slowly rotating fog, Laplace argues that our solar system originated from a gas mist that rotates quickly and has very high temperatures.
