And it all goes wrong until they realized that the actual weight of dinosaur parts have proven to fail in computer-tested physics models.  A T-Rex at normal-speed can't even turn it's head to the side without snapping it's neck and the Brontosaurus' leg's would shatter under the pressure of it's own weight in our model of physics today.  It is suggested that back then our Earth may have had a weaker gravitational force yielding in gigantic organisms (on land) like Dinosaurs.  The only way to present this illusion to us is to use parts that weigh nothing near to it's actual weight such as they do.

Props though on making some nice looking dinosaurs.

Do you have a source for this radical claim?

Also there is no evidence of weaker gravitational forces - as much as I wish there was.
