Spin is a quantum property that's
a form of angular momentum.
Spin is
a form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles.

For spirals, on the other hand, the gas infelt slowly conserving its
angular momentum and stars
formed steadily along a timescale comparable to the age
of the Universe.
The largest clumps
of matter in the universe had an initial
angular momentum — and these clumps broke up into ever smaller clumps,
forming smaller clusters
of galaxies, groups
of galaxies, individual galaxies, solar systems within galaxies and ultimately, individual stars and planets.
According to computer simulations, the variety
of galaxy
forms results from different initial parameters
of the proto - galaxies such as the amount
of (initial)
angular momentum, as well as their later evolution in their environments, such as interaction with other neighboring galaxies.
Our result indicates that the global
angular momentum of the cluster -
forming clouds was efficiently transferred to each star and that its imprint has survived after several gigayears since the clusters
formed.
When stars
form from a giant cloud
of gas and dust, the
angular momentum of the cloud carries over to all the objects that
form from the cloud, including new planets.
Since
angular momentum is linear in
angular velocity while rotational energy is quadratic, such an exchange will indeed involve converting an excess
of KE to some other
form, though considerably less than 2e22 J. Redo your math and you'll see just how much less.
