Can we too be altered or alter??others with our words? That's the larger implications.....

    ???????? I don't fully know, because if my boss at work was chewing me out, his words alone would have an altering affect on me regardless. I would be in a worse mood than what I had been, and if in a bad enough mood I could have physical effects such as upset stomach, shortness of breathe, sweatiness, or any number of other things. By the same token, if my boss heaped great mounds of praise on me these words too would have an altering affect on me. I would be in a happier mood, and if in a good enough mood I might cry, might get upset stomach (interestingly an affect that could get with the bad words), or a number of other physical affects. This doesn't mean maybe because we are made up of so much water that the words don't have more of an physical impact than what the words alone might have had on us physically. No matter what the case might be this is an interesting subject and the study how words affected the water is thought provoking in many ways on several levels.

    Thanks for starting another great thread Lisa31468.

    The parrots are scratching??their heads the topic is just a little too involved for them.

    IMO, waterbending is real.?? Remeber in the Bible the parting of the Red Sea by Moses??? And a smaller version of that in the Jordan River by Joshua, his successor.?? If that isn't big time waterbending, i don't know what is.

    That is of course if one believes in the Bible.

    LOL Too deep, eh?


    My brain hurts.

    Yeah. LOL

    I've really shown enormous restraint because I have really wanted to start a 'Quantum Physics' thread to illustrate many things which have transpired??in the Avatar world. But I've resisted.

    ???????? Well one of my passions as a student is theoretical physics. I have researched quantum entanglement or "The God Effect" which if manipulated properly could possibly cause bending of certain elements. I never realy applied this thought to avtar, but if you realy wanted to given a few years and millions of dollars, and the right nobel prize winners. It might be possible

    ??I think bending is a form of limited telekenesis.?? Everybody knows that telekenesis exists right??? Its basically the ability to move objects at will.?? Bending i think is limited telekenesis since you can move only certain elements and not just any object at will.?? Hmmm... a better description i think would be limited, focused telekenesis, since benders can not just move, but also manipulate the given element to do almost anything.

    Heheheh.?? No need to use quantum physics to explain that!

    Although i would really want to find a quantum physics type explanation for it.?? It would be very useful for those who laugh at us who watch cartoons like Avatar to prove that its not all just kid stuff.

    David Albert, who was offered in the review as a 'real' scientist whose views did not coincide with the movie is not even a Quantum Physicist but a philosopher of physics at Columbia University.

    David Albert, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy and Director of M.A. Program in The Philosophical Foundations of Physics at Columbia University. He received his B.S. in Physics from Columbia College (1976) and his Doctorate in Theoretical Physics from The Rockefeller University (1981).

    Prof. Albert has published two books (Quantum Mechanics and Experience and Time and Chance) and numerous articles on quantum mechanics.

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of theoretical physics where quantum physics falls into.

    Surely you are not suggesting that the field of Quantum Physics is a farce as well? I am more than willing to supply documentation to support the validity of an entire field of science if so need be.

    As to the Wikipedia link I would first say as you well know Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and everyone. No one must verify their submissions with any Quantum Physics credentials before editing an entry on Wikipedia.

    And you must know that there is moderators and the fact that sources are cited. I suggest reading, or watching The Elegant Universe if you want something more then a half science half pseudoscience cult recruitment film.
