How were dinosaurs were even able to exist? As creatures get larger, their weight increases in proportion
to volume. But their strength only increses in proportion to the cross sectional area of muscle in a particular limb -
the familar square-cube problem. In the present environment, the maximum weight for an animal to exist ie. to be able
lift its own weight off the ground can be shown to be the solution to 1,340/340.667 = x/x.667, or about 21,000 pounds.
The heaviest elephant is not more than 14,000 pounds. The Brontosaur, which was mostly gut plus a huge digestive
system for processing low-value foodstuffs, stood in at
70,000 pounds! And the Brontosaur was itself dwarfed by the
Supersaur and Ultrasaur at 180 tons! Was dinosaur muscle
tissue superior to human? The Barosaur stood at 45 feet, and for its blood to
have been able to have reached its brain, the blood pressure
had to be 1,000 mm Hg! A giraffe at 18 feet has a blood
pressure of 200 mm Hg. Why did the Barosaur's vascular
system not rupture? At 25 pounds, hunting eagles, bred for size and
strength, get into the air with the greatest difficulty. Yet
the Pterosaur, at 350 pounds and with a 40 foot wingspan,
broke all the rules of flight engineering, bone strength and
wing musculature. Something must have been very different in
the dinosaur age. Maybe gravity was less than today. Another
possibiliy is the theory that the speed of light was
higher in the past. In addition to having many astronomical
and geological implications, a higher c would have resulted
in lower fluid viscosity, faster nerve impulses, more
efficient breathing, diffusion, growth, blood flow, ion
transfer, and higher lift to drag ratios!
