Mechanics and Understanding Bending and The Avatar

[Pickle9775]

Okay, so I basically made a research paper about Bending, The Avatar, and such and it turned it to be too long to post here, so here is a link

Read most of the paper, pretty good. Although what you said about water benders controlling hydrogen and oxygen in water didn't make much sense since they already do control the H2O molecules technicly.

That's not what I wrote. I wrote that Airbenders DO NOT control the molecules of the composition of air, such as hydrogen and oxygen

I reread it, and I see where you are coming from, but they could not control the hydrogen in water as it is not found in any quantity in our atmosphere. Also, the oxygen and hydrogen are chemically bond so it is not air anymore, it's water. An airbender would not be able to break a chemical bond by forcs without mini-nukes going off every time. I believe an Airbender does control the molecules in the air, they just don't have enough precision to pluck a single atom out of the air. They can change the energy and force of the atoms in the air would be my best definition. Still a good report thought, great job.

Well actually hydrogen is in the atmosphere. But that's aside the point. What I'm trying to get across is that airbenders can't control the individual molecules because the air is oxygen, nitrogen, Argon, carbon dioxide, and methane, so there is no such thing as an "air" molecule".

"By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases." Doesn't seem to be much Hydrogen.

There isn't an "earth" molecule either. The show never really defines what "earth" is besides rocks and dirt. But there are lots of types of rocks and dirt made from different things. The bender controls the elements by, in earth, water, and air, applying energy to their respective element's atoms. I think the best example of this is metalbending, as it shows the earth bender can control the "earth" molecules inside the metal. Lava bending shows it well too though, as the earth bender can control the temperature of the "earth." Doesn't really matter much though.

Well, there is always water vapor in the air.

Off topic tho-

Two guys walk into a bar. The first guy asks the bartender,"Hey can I get some fresh H-2-O?" The second guy says,"I'll have some H-2-0 too!" The second guy dies.

Although I think that the file you gaved to us is so much useful, i had to check the "no" option Great collection of information! Would you mind if I download the file?

Great research, though you have to consider this is a fantasy tv show. It doesn't and shouldn't really compare to the real world, simply because bending isn't real. Airbenders don't bend molecules, nor do earthbenders, or water or firebenders. They bend their respective elements.

This is also probably why people dislike the idea of airbenders being able to possibly airbend; it simply wouldn't be logical, as "air" itself isn't sound, but is merely a medium for it. But it shouldn't be realistic, should it? Bending isn't...

I'd be honored

Yo on the earth sub elements you should add sandbending because it's movements are similar as waterbending
