Your steadfast opposition to posters who have different views, than yours, about the possibility of lower surface gravity in the distant past gives one the opinion that you have an agenda which you are not revealing. Are you threatened, economically or otherwise, if it turns out that it is scientifically established that surface gravity was, in fact, lower in the past?

It supports the subject of this thread, i.e., Mr. Canseco’s assertion that surface gravity was lower during the dinosaur era.

I will automatically delete comments that consist only of advertisements for such work, just as I would for commercial products.

During the resulting back-and-forth exchange, my friend Brian Switek proposed each writing a blog post, focusing on our own areas of expertise. Brian’s two posts discussed dinosaur reproduction and blood pressure; mine discussed gravity. [...]

Just tried to reply on your article but it didn’t seem to want to play, so perhaps I’ll just reply here…

Apologies I if gave that impression. The EE link is interesting though – always interested in augments against it as for it.
