For what its worth most of the carbon from back then has been sinked into the ground, and while we extracted and burned enough of it to fuck the climate, it is nowhere near enough to have caused a relevant change in the atmospheric oxygen concentration.
Well, his research was very sound by modern standards, mostly adhering to the scientific method. It would be very untimely 200 or more years prior. His paper (even in its original form!) is understandable by any modern intelligent person who can read German cursive.
He drinks water and fuses the hydrogen into helium. This needs some deuterium to start off, which is why godzillas only occur in nuclear testing sites.
Their whaling fleet is a cover for his late night snacks. As near apex predators they have the highest concentration of radiation from Fukushima Daichi. Kinda like DDT and bald eagles.
But luckily we have Gojiro which is a natural sink for radiation 🥳👌🏽✨
You also can’t just scale things up and have them work the same way. I forget if there’s a proper name for this but weight is related to volume which is the cube of the dimension, but pressure is related to area which is the square of the dimension. So giant king kongs ankles aren’t looking so great right now as the pressure will increase with scale.
Ideally you aren’t slamming all of your weight on your ankles with every step though. If you do that at human scale with normal human weight, there won’t be much of your ankles left either. Your muscles work as a spring to catch most of the force and they also grow cubicly. So i think the law cannot be applied this directly to biological systems. Of course you are right, that King Kong would probably not just be a scaled up Gorilla, but also altered in his shape.
Godzilla is nuclear powered so he’s not limited by biological energy sources. There’s still the entire issue of the form factor, but for that I like John Scalzy’s take on the Kaiju Preservation Society.
I've been a fan of the Godzilla franchise for a long time. I'm absolutely stunned to learn that the films don't hold up to scientific scrutiny. I feel lied to, and betrayed. How could they do this‽ Everything is ruined.
