(I really hope I'm being trolled right now.) I find the idea of earth and waterbending being related to gravity to be interesting, but in that case, I would have to ask how it's possible for waterbenders to have healing abilities, if their power lies chiefly in the manipulation of gravity. Air, I don't buy, since that has more to do with atmosphereic pressure. It's not that gravity doesn't affect this, but there are too many other factors involved. I have a hard time believing that, unconsciously or not, airbenders are controlling gravity to push or pull air particles further from or closer to the earth in order to generate a difference in pressure, while taking into consideration factors like the rotation of the planet AND temperature, in order to create wind. And I'm no meteorologist, but I don't believe air scooters and the like could be produced, this way. As for firebending, I have no idea how on earth you jumped from the conclusion that messing around with the strong and weak nuclear forces = firebending, but I would love to hear it. Maybe the entire fire nation is populated by nuclear physicists, but I'm inclined to believe that if that was how their powers worked, they'd all be dying of cancer, and there'd be no war. Or they'd have wiped out everything via atomic explosions. Take your pick.
