I don't get it. How do physics apply and not apply at the same time? Beyond the obvious exceptions of bending powers and the spirituality, everything in the Avatar world is based off real world physics. But even benders are limited to the science of the world. Firebenders can create heat, and to a certain degree control how much heat they put out in certain spot.

But they can't control how the surrounding environment reacts with that heat. I already explained that it wouldn't do what you said, but would explode instead. That's the physics. The air moisture can only hold so much heat before it let's it all out. Boom! That's it. It wouldn't react how you say even if the rest of your theory was possible, and it's not. Sorry.
