M-e objects - explained my science

Well, the problem is, he could just change things at an atomic level. By saying

"Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!"

in a certain tone he could cause certain vibrations which at an atomic level cause hydrogen atoms to combust in the nearest available place. You just don't know with wizards.

Basically, if you go down to an atomic level, everything in ME can be explained by science. Obviously the Ainur would know how to harness it, as they took part in creating it. This would explain their powers. Knowledge is power. Basically, the Ainu did not use magic, as such, they just knew how to alter things and go between the rules of science. Take Balrogs, for eample. They may have taken part in singing the part of the Music about fire, so they know everything that they made, so they can control fire, to an extent. This might explain why some Ainur have different "powers".

Before you finish reading this post, just spare a thougt for quantum fluctuation, the theory that particles can appear out of nothing, and think, if that is possible, what can't be.

Or is there another level of that reality that we just haven't figured out yet? In The Mirror of Galadriel, Sam professes that he'd like to see a bit of "elf magic." Galadriel isn't exactly sure what he means, as to her, what she does isn't magical at all. So those quantum fluctuations in which something appears seemingly ex nihilo, it just might be that we don't understand (yet) what is really occurring.

And regarding the iPhone Palantíri without the use of satellites: Did the elves tune the stones to a specific wavelength that permitted data transfer across long distances without loss? Could the ability of 'seeing the past' be explained by capturing the radio-like waves emitted at that time from space? Big hurdle, but possible?
