T-Rex was a Speed Monster

Every now and again there appears a study in the news, telling us that the Tyranosaurus Rex could hardly move, which makes one wonder what these scientists think about the Brontosaurus, or any other dinosaur more than twice the size of the T-Rex.

On the one hand, scientists stick religiously to the idea that gravity and inertia has stayed unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs, and on the other hand they refuse to acknowledge the consequence of this, that dinosaurs larger than the T-Rex would be impossible in today's environment.

Then they go on to tell us that the T-Rex was a slow and sluggish monster, easily outrun by any humans if they had been around to experience them. T-Rex crawled around sluggishly, dragging their useless fleshy tails behind them. Unable to hunt, they sent their hatchlings out to find food and bring it back to the cave where the frightened and helpless T-Rex adults spent most of their days sleeping.

The fact that the shape of the animal indicates that it must have been capable of great speeds fail to impress our scientists. Darwin's principles somehow do not apply to dinosaurs. Their shape had nothing to do with their function. T-Rex was designed for speed. That's clear from just looking at it. Yet, that's something we can ignore.

Elaborate computer models are used to establish the obvious. T-Rex would hardly be able to move in today's gravity. They spend all this public money to tell us this. Yet they refuse to to even consider the alternative, let alone calculate what T-Rex could have been capable of in an environment of lower gravity and less inertia.

In such an environment, T-Rex would no doubt have outrun any human with ease. No mammal today can run faster than T-Rex could, and the reason for this is easy to explain. With less gravity, T-Rex's muscles would have been dedicated to speed, rather than fighting gravity. With less inertia, the monster could accelerate, jump and turn with ease. Its big fleshy tail functioned as a steering stick, stabilizing it as it charged straight ahead. Should its prey jump to the side, T-Rex would flip its tail to the side and turn on a dime.

T-Rex was very much the frightening speed monster that every casual observer of it has assumed it to be. To doubt such a thing, requires a PhD from a prestigious university. Only well educated idiots can say with a straight face that T-Rex was sluggish and hardly capable of moving.
