A new hypothesis for the origin of planetary rings and irregular moons that can be experimentally tested right now

We have proven that the orbits of moons and planets must move away from each other due to energy losses caused by mutual tidal forces. For this reason, large moons push small moons beyond their orbits. The outer small moons are pushed to the boundaries of the lunar systems forming two groups of irregular moons with direct and retrograde motion. The inner small moons are pushed toward the central planet, reach the Roche limit, and then break up into pieces forming a ring system. The rings continue to migrate toward the planet, disintegrate, evaporate, and their remains fall onto the planet. According to our estimates, the migration rate of lunar orbits can reach several meters per year. By measuring this rate, we can not only solve the problem of the origin of moons and rings, but also determine their age. For example, according to our estimates, the age of Hyperion is less than 50 million years.
