Did you even take the time to think whether it solved the problems of the extreme weight of the dinosaurs? I'll bet
you rejected it out of hand.
If it were true - if that mechanism were discovered - think of all the benefits of being able to manipulate gravity. Yeah - it is a popular meme of sci fi, it could be very beneficial. But if no one is willing to look....

There are four problem areas illustrating why the largest dinosaurs and pterosaurs present a paradox to science:
Inadequate bone strength to support the largest dinosaurs
Inadequate muscle strength to lift and move the largest dinosaurs
Unacceptable high blood pressure and stress on the heart of the tallest dinosaurs
Aerodynamics principles showing that the pterosaurs should not have flown
Before starting on the first issue listed above, there needs to be a discussion of what is the mass of various dinosaurs. It would be most helpful to have accurate mass estimates of the largest dinosaurs, the sauropods.
How Big is Your Dinosaur?
The most obvious observation about dinosaurs is that these were incredible large animals. Kids want to know how the dinosaurs grew so large. Yet oddly enough many paleontologists would rather avoid this subject. In fact, an argument can be made that the paleontology community is attempting to hide away their largest dinosaur displays.
In 1993 the once prominent 72 foot long Brachiosaurus display was taken down from its pedestal at the Field Museum in Chicago as officials made way for their new T-Rex display. It now looks far less impressive at its current cramp location at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. Furthermore, because the Brachiosaurus display is on the other side of security it is not even possible to see this exhibit unless you are just passing by on your way to fly somewhere.
Inside the modest yet outstanding Wyoming Dinosaur Center is one of the largest sauropods ever found: the 106 foot long Supersaurus Jimbo. It is a gigantic display that towers over the other dinosaur displays. Yet if you want to see this Supersaurus get ready to do some driving, because the small town of Thermopolis, Wyoming where Jimbo is displayed is nowhere close to any large city.
When a large dinosaur dies the relatively quick burial of the animal is nearly impossible. Consequently finding complete or nearly complete skeletons of a large sauropod is rare. It is more common to find just a few extremely large bones. Nevertheless by comparing the size of similar bones there is more than enough evidence to state that there were many supersauruses even larger than Jimbo. Surely the public would be interested in seeing these huge bones, and yet these too are rarely seen in metropolitan museums. In fact, not only are many of these extremely large bones not being displayed, but curiously on at least two occasions these gigantic priceless sauropod bones have been somehow lost.
In a display of split personality, paleontologists try to tell us that the largest dinosaurs were really big, but then again not really so big. To be more specific, paleontologists benefit from the publics’ fascination with the immense size of these large dinosaurs, yet the same paleontologists find it extremely problematic to give a scientifically feasible explanation of how these monsters could have supported their own weight.
Decades ago paleontologists imagined that the large sauropods were like hippos in that they spent their time standing in the water so as to support their weight. Back then it was fairly common for mass estimates to be around 100 tons or more. But ever since the paleontologists brought the large dinosaurs out of the water, the mass estimates for large dinosaurs have steadily dropped until now some paleontologists are proposing that the mass of a Brachiosaurus was only 23 tons.
Ok, I'll bite: I fail to see why earth would fly away from the sun as you posit. How would a change in earth's gravity affect it's orbit around the sun anyway? 'Splains it fo po me if you can.
