Hi all
yes Halc I thought you were using more than one theory, as they disagree/conflict on some of the points you raise.

yes I would agree its obviously not a closed system. and its not just gravity waves that can carry away angular momentum.

Basic Newtonian law, under which the Sun/Earth/Moon system is effectively closed with no external input of torque. It is obviously not closed to heat radiating away.

Water waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves are able to carry energy, momentum, and angular momentum and by doing so they carry those away from the sourceFrom
