The Gravity Theory Of Gigantism and Extinction by John
Stojanowski 1/20/07 This document is the third in a series
entitled “The Rise And Fall Of The Dinosaurs.” Parts I and II
describe a new theory that explains the gigantism of dinosaurs
during the Mesozoic Era and how it related to their eventual
extinction. The theory posits that a gradual reduction in the
Earth’s gravitational field occurred as the terrestrial
continents coalesced to form the super-continent of Pangea over
200 million years ago. The subsequent gradual breakup and
drifting apart of those continental land masses was accompanied
by an increasing gravitational field. This increase in gravity
led to the extinction of many land and sea animals, especially
the dinosaurs. The dinosaur/mammal equilibrium was disrupted,
allowing the mammals to eventually displace the dinosaurs. This
document supplements the prior two and introduces an additional
factor to explain how the gravitational field strength could
have been altered during the period in ques
