The Earth's Electric Field and the size of Dinosaurs.

[Chaos' lil bro Order]

Hello, I have heard a theory on how the Earth's electric field is presently stronger than it was at the time of the dinosaurs. The theory reasons that larger dinosaurs, like say a Brontasaurus (pardon spelling) were simply too massive in size and weight for their bodies to be held up by their bones and ligaments. Therefore, the theory reasons, that the Earth's gravity was weaker back then and this weakness can be attributed to the fact that the Earth's electric field was also weaker back then.

That said, I do not necessarily agree with this theory, but it is quite interesting to ponder. Some questions about it pop into one's mind. Some questions like:


1). What is the present energy of the Earth's electric field and is there any physical evidence of weaker electric fields at the time of the dinosaurs?

2) What are the tensile strengths of a Brontasaurus' supporting bones? Are they strong enough to support the stresses a walking Brontasaurus frame would put on them?

3) How much does the Earth's electric field contribute to the Earth's total gravity, considering its mass contributes to this total as well?


I thank you for your attention. If you would like to add some answers or more questions I would be thankful.

Cheers

#3 is the easy one: none at all.

That link is to a crackpot website and we don't allow such things here. It is best to just learn science from reputable sources.

I find this theory about the Earth's electric field and the size of dinosaurs intriguing. However, it is important to note that this is currently just a theory and has not been proven through scientific research.

To address your questions, the present energy of the Earth's electric field is approximately 100 volts per meter. There is no direct physical evidence of weaker electric fields at the time of the dinosaurs, but scientists can study the Earth's magnetic field to get an idea of how the electric field may have changed over time.

The tensile strength of a Brontasaurus' bones would depend on their size and composition, which can vary among different species. However, it is generally believed that dinosaurs had strong and sturdy bones to support their large bodies.

The contribution of the Earth's electric field to its total gravity is currently not well understood. While the electric field does play a role in the Earth's overall gravitational pull, it is not the only factor. The mass of the Earth and its distance from other celestial bodies also play a significant role in its gravity.

There are certainly many more questions that can be raised about this theory, and further research and evidence are needed to fully understand the relationship between the Earth's electric field and the size of dinosaurs. Thank you for bringing this topic to my attention and I look forward to further discussions and investigations on this subject.
