When i was in Patagonia i went to quite a few museums. The whole of Patagonia is chock full of dinosaur fossils! There were plans of some sort of dinosaur trail between all the museums but i've not read anything about it since i was down there.

Anyway i can highly recommend looking up all the wee towns down there. A surprising amount have some cool museums well worth visiting.

as side notes, such big creatures could not have existed in todays gravity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V840anEvGPw and Godzilla 2014 is out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0831387/ Leave any notion of physics at the door, and it seems enjoyable.
 
I'm not buying it. Gravity is a function of mass, not volume.

If theory says such dinosaurs could not have existed, then theory needs to be revised. We have the fossilised bones, we know they existed.
 
not so much that dinosaur walked this hearth or not. Rather how the hearth came to be is the theory provided above. The biggest creatures today's gravity permits, we have.

Good subject for tomorrow Red ;)
 
Plenty of theories, without the need for fantasy science, to explain why the dinosaurs grew so big:

And just a little bit of thought on anyone's part, as long as you accept evidence like the world's network of geological sensors that prove the Earth is not hollow (unless EVERYONE who has ever looked at the data from those is a part of a conspiracy to keep you from the truth!), would tell you that the Earth could not grow and become hollow inside. And as Possum points out, gravity is more a function of mass/density, although volume could come in to play. If the Earth was hollow, the densities would be shifted and gravity would be affected. How much I don't know, I'm not a physicist, but it doesn't matter because the Earth IS NOT HOLLOW.

And the link from Toasted was looking for reasons that everything was bigger, including plants. I've already offered an alternative for plants in another thread (not my theory, just passing it along) - CO2 concentrations allowed the plants to grow big, which also fed the large dinosaurs through a normal food chain.

And if the world grew like an expanding balloon, how is it that the theories on movements of the continents show them drifting, not just getting cracks between them as the Earth expanded?

I'd never actually heard of the theory of different gravity in the past. It was quite humorous.
 
Whatever. I'm no orthopterologist, but I do know you cant refute empirical visual evidence:

That's funny that you guys seems to know how gravity works as it is still not understood. We can all see/understand the result of gravity, but what is really going on between your cells and the hearth? Seems off topic but not really.
 
Good subject for tomorrow, yes. Now we'll see if circumstances actually permit us to carry on a discussion. I have a feeling the noise level will be prohibitive :)
