The collective discussions reflect strong agreement with the article, supported by references to scientific research such as Hutchinson and Garcia (2002) and others, with users emphasizing that large dinosaurs could not have achieved high speeds due to muscle mass constraints. The tone and choice of words like 'necessary muscle' and 'unlikely' highlight the scientific robustness and significance of the findings, leading to high agreement and impact scores.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions agree with the article's conclusion that T. rex was not a fast runner, referencing relevant studies and emphasizing the importance of muscle mass estimates.

EngagementModerate engagement
The discussions include mentions of various studies and researchers, indicating some engagement with the research methodology and implications.
ImpactHigh impact
The wide citation of scientific studies and emphasis on the significance of the findings suggest a high perceived impact on understanding dinosaur locomotion.
Abstract in brief
Tyrannosaurus was likely not a fast runner, with some studies suggesting it could walk or run at only about 1.1 m/s, while others propose it might reach up to 20 m/s.
The researchers used a new method to estimate how much muscle mass would be needed for fast running, and validated it using living animals like alligators and chickens.
Their findings indicate that for a T. rex to run quickly, it would have needed an unrealistically large amount of muscle, making it unlikely that such large dinosaurs could reach high speeds.]
