Jose Canseco explains gravity, and it's awesome

JoshHamilton · Feb 19, 2013

Ancient gravity was much weaker. You ever wonder why nothing REALLY big exists today in nature? Animal tissue of muscles and ligaments could not support huge dinosaurs even standing up or pump blood up 60 foot necks. Gravity had to be weaker to make dinosaurs nimble. My theory is the core of the planet shifted when single continent formed to keep us in a balanced spin. The land was farther away from the core and had much less gravity so bigness could develop and dominate. I may not be 100% right but think about it. How else could 30 foot leather birds fly?

I neither like nor dislike this post. Stupid shifting tablet screen.

Anyway, my first thought was, "WAT?"

That's my dogg!

Twitter?? just a wild guess because Im not on it and even if I was wouldn't follow his feed anyway...

He does have a point about the arterial circulation but still...does anyone really know how big a t-rex heart was? I mean, I'd imagine they were quite massive...as were all of their organs. But that's a lot of blood being pumped, especially in maximal exertion exercise. Got wonder what their hearts were like, their normal resting and max BP's, and their VO2 max. Be pretty interesting. I'm sure given the size of the creatures, some smart person could figure out a half ass formula....

I think Jose was using T-Rex piss and injecting it first, then shifted to something more in the modern Era.

geeeeeesh, someone get this man into some sort of secondary education system. Hell, any online science class would work.

How did this even come up?

DaClyde · Feb 19, 2013

Did he give present this theory at the Carl Everett Symposium on Paleontology?

I thought gravity was caused by underground aliens cooking beans. Their farting keeps up from floating away...

You learn something new everyday I guess.

Wrong Jose dinosaurs were big because they shot winstrol into their butt cheeks. It's known as the prehistoric ped era. That's why no dinosaurs are in the hall of fame!

He is so smrt !

Another reason not to use PEDs...

It's no more crazy than those who either deny dinosaurs existed or believe the earth is a few thousand years old. Actually, his theory is more believable than those :lol:.

I heard he could get his Medical Billing degree in under 3 months...Can you imagine his rationalization of "Open Heart Surgery"?

I've run into a few of the folks who believe dinosaurs didn't exist. Never run into any that had a good reason for believing it though....

Those birds flew because when they bathed, they used Dove.

Neal Adams, the legendary comic book artist, has some wild theories about how tectonics and the movement of continents is way off, and they sound kind of similar to Canseco. And I've read something about how there's even some science to dispute what seems to be common wisdom right now, like if there was once one big continent, all the water currently spread fairly evenly around the globe right now would've been displaced, and if there was a greater concentration of rock somewhere on the globe, the Earth would've been thrown off it's axis because the center of gravity would be off-kilter. I don't know about all the math involved in computing the mass of continents and the history of the Earth's core, but we're here now.

notjomommasclint · Feb 19, 2013

The rate Pangea broke up at would not have had an impact on Panthalassa. At a separation rate of even several dozen inches a year the water would have been able to fill in any voids left in the plates as the drifted apart.

I don't see how the land mass would throw the axis off. The total amount of earth mass would not have been effected unless mass was added from an outside source. The form and positioning of mass wouldn't cause a curveball effect unless it was a sudden jolt to the planet. Like the Chilean earthquake.

I think he also said the Earth started out flat then evolved into round. That's why gravity was different.
