Nov 24, 2016 at 19:07 | comment | added | Leliel | @XandarTheZenon This is worldbuilding, so we can throw out physics, but within all existing planetary formation models, there will be at least some angular momentum in the dustcloud, or no planets at all. If there's no angular momentum everything just drops into the central star (or starts rotating). so it's not going to be in any universe much like ours unless one calls in magic. | |
