Science of Elemental Manipulation (a ramble)
So I’ve just finished binge watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I actually always really liked the idea of this power but now I’ve become kind of obsessed. My brain automatically tries to put fictional ideas into a real life concept and I’ve tried really hard with this one but I just can’t do it.
The elements fire, earth, water, and air represent the four observable states; plasma, solid, liquid, and gas. Which, okay sure, but if a water bender can also bend ice/snow/steam then it kind of destroys anything that separates them. But then what if you could control all four and didn’t have to specialise or whatever? Then how is it any distinguishable from telekinesis and that’s a whole other “superpower”.
Fire-bending is the harder; you somehow use your mind (your energy?) to convert the energy from photons coming from the sun into... fire? The rest is just moving things around, which like I said is basically telekinesis.
Anyway I really want this to exist in real life and if someone could find a way for it to happen that would be great. Also this contained absolutely no information but it’s been on my mind a lot lately so if you guys have any ideas let me know.
