Philosopher	Hypothesis about the origin of the Earth	Facts
Immanuel Kant	Gaseous	Based on newton's law of gravity and rotation motion
Laplace	Nebular	Laplace’s nebular hypothesis was in some way comparable to the Gaseous hypothesis of Kant and seems like the revised version of Kant’s hypothesis.
Chamberlin	Planetesimal	Planetesimal hypothesis not only explains the origin of the earth but also delivers light on the structure of the earth, the origin of atmosphere and continents and ocean basins.
James Jeans	Tidal	The Jeans-Jeffreys tidal hypothesis, composed by James Jeans and Harold Jeffery, explained the origin of the solar system as a result of a close encounter between the Sun and a second star.

• There are a total of 8 theories of the origin of the universe:
  • The gaseous hypothesis of Kant
  • Nebular hypothesis of Laplace
  • The planetesimal hypothesis of Chamberlin
  • Jean and Jeffery’s tidal theory
  • Russel’s binary Star Hypothesis
  • Hoyle’s supernova hypothesis
  • Schmidt’s interstellar hypothesis
  • Big bang theory
