It is said that our solar system is orbiting the Milky Way galaxy:
"The Solar System is located at a radius of about 27,000 light-years (8.3 kpc) from the Galactic Center,[31] on the inner edge of the Orion Arm, one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust."
from link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way
"Our Milky Way galaxy is a big place. Even at this blazing speed, it takes the sun approximately 225-250 million years to complete one journey around the galaxy’s center."

It is kinda hard to tell from macroscopic perspective, so any thought on this one?
Solar System travelling: around Milky Way indefinitely, pulled into the Milky Way some time ago, or a temporary visit?
Does something like the size of dinosaurs speak to the possibility that we weren't always locked in the orbit we current are? Inferring a different level of gravity?
Extinction events potentially being part of the arrival here, the moon as we know it as a remnant of that transitional period? And so forth.
Our orbit being 225-250 million years, we have a tiny fraction of data to support that it's actually the case, right? We could yet shoot off and not circle around. It's all assumed based on current trajectory.

Come on, you should know. Of course I dare mock you.

Gravity can't change just like that. It would affect way more than animal size.
The solar system has been stable for aeons, minus comets, asteroids and mega volcanos.

I invite you to prove your theory utilizing evidence from realms with a different gravity.dust wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 3:49 pm Gravity can't change just like that. It would affect way more than animal size.

But yeah, of course it would. It would affect other things like flora, and... possibly the global water level. It's ok, we've no evidence for any of that either... right?
However now since you're making some statements as fact, let us open the floor to our dear friend: Graviton Theory.
