Jose Canseco gives Twitter a profound lesson about gravity

You probably didn't know this, but former baseball player Jose Canseco has a second career as a brilliant physicist. On Monday night Canseco generously offered his 494,000 Twitter followers a profound insight into the nature of gravity. "Ancient gravity was much weaker," he explained. "You ever wonder why nothing REALLY big exists today in nature? ... Gravity had to be weaker to make dinosaurs nimble." Of course! But why is modern gravity stronger, Professor Canseco? "My theory is the core of the planet shifted when single continent formed to keep us in a balanced spin," he revealed. "The land was farther away from the core and had much less gravity so bigness could develop and dominate... I may not be 100% right but think about it. How else could 30 foot leather birds fly?" How indeed. [Source]
