SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the scientific plausibility of the Na'vi and the planet Pandora as depicted in James Cameron's "Avatar." Participants debate the physical characteristics of the Na'vi, such as their humanoid structure, height, and athleticism, attributing these traits to Pandora's low gravity. The discussion also touches on the carbon fiber coating of their skeletal structure and the concept of electromagnetic connections with flora and fauna. While some aspects, like the carbon fiber, are deemed biologically possible, the feasibility of their hair-based communication and the floating mountains remains contentious.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of low gravity effects on biological structures
  • Knowledge of carbon fiber materials and their biological applications
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic interactions in biological systems
  • Basic principles of superconductivity and magnetic levitation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the biological implications of carbon fiber in living organisms
  • Explore the effects of low gravity on human physiology and biomechanics
  • Investigate superconductors and their potential applications in transportation
  • Study the concept of electromagnetic fields in ecological systems
USEFUL FOR

Scientists, science fiction enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersection of biology and physics in fictional worlds will benefit from this discussion.

What about the engines on the air craft used by the Humans? I didn't catch the first hour of the movie, but don't the engines need oxygen to run efficiently? Or were they set up to run on this different gas?

The low gravity also explains how the transport ship was able to stay in the air while it was assaulting the rib cage place.
