A MATTER OF GRAVITY

Take a look at fossilised dinosaur bones that have been dug up and put on display in museums around the world. These are reconstructed to portray dinosaurs that stand five, six, ten and up to eighteen metres high and theoretically could weigh up to 60 tons. Wow. Watch the movie “Jurassic Park” for recreations to see just how huge these things were. We also have fossils of giant insects and plants from the distant millenia.

Now consider the elephant. You know how big they get and how slow they must move because they weigh so much and they are pretty much at the limit of size for a land animal because bone and muscle just can’t hold up anything bigger.

Yes, you can argue this point : go ahead, prove me wrong, but I bet you can’t. Bone and muscle obey the same rules of engineering that steel and electric motors do.

Are you seeing what I see? Either our ideas of the strength of bone and muscle are very wrong or these dinosaurs could not have even walked on this planet under the current 9.8 M/S sq gravity.

I don’t think the archaeologists are wrong and that the dinosaurs were not that big or anything like that, I have a much simpler answer as to how these giant creatures walked the Earth:

The gravity was much lower back then.

This then brings the question of “What is gravity and how could it increase over time?”

I like to think of gravity as “Coactive mass”. The mass of Earth attracts us because all masses attract each other and it is millions of times bigger than we are.

If the force of gravity is the result of the total mass of the planet then as long as mass of Earth remains constant, gravity will remain the same.


Except it doesn’t.


Every day an average of three tons of solid matter in the form of asteroids, dust, rocks etc. falls from space and adds to the Earth’s mass. 3 tons a day over a million years is 1095 million tons.

Yes, some gasous matter constantly leaks off the edge of the atmosphere in the solar wind but that is still well below 3 tons a day in total mass, and it’s gas, not solid.

Don’t take my word for this, you can check up on it yourself.


If a really big lump of matter suddenly hits the planet, the total mass will jump up and a lot of animals and plants will need to adapt or die. This event would also cause huge geological upsets as the forces and masses would sudddenly change.

Sounds familiar huh? Maybe those huge dinosaurs didn’t die because they starved in darkness, but because they could no longer walk. Much smaller creatures would be less affected by this of course.

If there were humanoids in the distant past they would have grown taller than modern man simply because the force of gravity was less. Did we have bones of a much taller race of men who came before us that are being hidden or destroyed? Some people are quite sure of this and there are a lot of records that suggest this - but it seems that someone has been busy getting rid of all of those giant skeletons. 


This brings me to the last big question about all of this. 

How come I seem to be the only person who has figured this out? 

Why is this not being spoken of out loud?

Maybe it is because when another large asteroid hits Earth, according to the ideas set forth here, it will not only cause environmental catastrophe but if it is big enough, all of our cities, infrastructure and systems will fail because they are not designed to stand under more than one gravity. 

Or then again, maybe people just don't like the idea that gravity might not be as consistent and constant as they like to imagine it.
