Water is made up of H2O, meaning 1/3 of it is oxygen so you can breathe underwater, just 30% as well as as you could normally

Actually, Earth's atmosphere is only 21% molecular oxygen

And water has oxygen atoms, but very few O2 molecules...

So… 33% is higher than 21%… so you can breathe better under water than in air???

*gasp* 

lol

well, your lungs just have to destroy the hydrogen bonds between the Hydrogen and oxygen, and then create them to make O2 and H2.

Cause that’s definitely possible lol

Yep, definitely.

Never mind that the reverse of this is what rockets use to get into space.

What do you mean???? Of course your lungs can handle the creation of rocket fuel inside them.

In all seriousness though, even if you could do this, you’d have to absorb the oxygen before it could come into contact with the hydrogen, or move the hydrogen out of your lungs. One of the two.

Itd probably be best to keep the hydrogen in your lungs though because otherwise the hydrogen would just react with the O2 in the air around you.

So it’s sort of a chose where you want the explosion to happen type of thing

Yep.

Though if the explosion were underwater, it wouldn't be as big

Though you'd still be incinerated

True.

An absolute waste too. If you can make rocket fuel from water there’s quite a bit to learn from that science wise.

Indeed.

Though real rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen and oxygen.

And we've derailed the whole thread

I doubt anyone’s lungs can create the pressure environment needed to do that. Or get it cold enough.

But yes we have.

The Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 has infinitely many solutions, but there are no whole number solutions to a^3 + b^3 = c^3 or a^n + b^n = c^n for n greater than or equal to 3.
