Talk:Airbending training/@comment-80.165.152.15-20120531214545

all those trying to use science in a show like might as well top trying, i prefere to view it as the ancient society believed in. they believed that everything was composed of fire, earth, water, air and a element called the fith element (mostly in hinduism and buddism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_element).

for eksampel (acording to the greek) is a human based of water (blood), earth (flesh, bone), fire (energy to move), and air (life). alle these elements should be view visual not as specifik science.

its almost impossiple to make any sense out of.

earthbending (the most sensible to me) : first we have to define what "earth" is, soil is based of a very very small amount of metals, calsium og silicium. rock is mostly silicium mixed with pretty much everything. so common thing is silicium, so that is their "limit" but they are still able to bend metal ? if that should make sense there are small traces of silicium in the metal, but that is very crabby metal (to full of impoureties).

firebending (least possiple): when see fire it it actually the result of combustion of something conaining carbon, and i see that people say that it is the oxygen in the air that is combusting, whitch is wrong. if you light pure oxygen it only accelretes the flame (a normal fysik experment in the smaller grates is when you seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen (elektrolyte) where hydrogen actually makes the eksploion) and there are much free hydrogen in the atmosphere. then there is lightning whitch i i really dont get, lightning is baisically made when there is a lot of friction in the atmosphere and the only thing that fire have in commen with lightning is that fire can make electricity.

Waterbending (also very propable): waterbending is controlling H2O, and theoretically is able to change its form to vapour (dosent happen, but why not?) and Ice. this must happen by controling the molekyles, but that would make this by far the strongest element since you could potentionally compackt the water to be denser then iron, there are baisically no limit with this element, not to mention the forces that works agaisnt the the user (gravety, the force between molekyles, and so on) also they are able to control plants and blood... but funny fact is that there are more water in a human then in a plant, weirder then that is healing but i wont go into that.

airbending (just like firebending, just dont get it): airbending is not by controlling he molekyles but but controlling/adding tothe kinetick force in the air to create wind. this is done by large movement (explaind above), but the speed that they are able the accerate the air is impossiple, for at tornado to happen it takes many dayes and the corrert wind, temperatour, atmospheric pressure and far more). in a lab it still takes atleast a minuit to warm a large fan up to these speeds knock over a person and it would need a speed of 100 mphs or more (since wind have almost no weight it needs to be accelrated up to enourmes speeds to do any kind of damage).

all in all, dont use physics, even if some series try to explain something with physics remeber, they are story tellers, not phystists. sorry for the long post. sources Wikipedia !
