... I am all for science, and that would be cool to see it behave more along the lines of the real world, but that would require a total overhaul and take much of the magic out of things.
Last I knew this was a game, I don't really want to have to get a degree in microbiology just so I can use some poison in battle, nor then get a masters in physics to see at what magnitude of force I have to hurl my kunai in order to exceed the gravitational pull of your Rinnegan Path.
The point of using real life science here in SL is to make certain comparisons, such as you throwing a kunai to escape the gravitational pull of the Deva Path, a moot point. You would have to throw the kunai exceedingly hard to break that connection if it is focused on both you and the kunai and going at full strength. Additionally, microbiology would be a useful background to have when explaining the counter to said poison, or even explaining how said poison works.
You can google most of the stuff and get the anwer in non-scholarly articles. Wikipedia even.

I rip my spine out to beat you to death with it, the act does not rupture my brain, I don't suddenly lose all ability to move due to my nervous system's main hi-way being removed, but can regrow all the connections and heal the damage I am doing faster than I am doing it so that I can continue to rip my spine out and beat you to death with it...all the while still taking damage from magical things such as kunai which somehow i cannot heal the damage that is done.
In the manga/anime, the Kaguya skeletal structure is different than that of the average person's. Yang release permits the manipulation of the body in such a fashion that the bones (and nerves) regenerate as the spine is pulled out, perhaps a reason why when we see Kimmimaro do it he doesn't pull it out as swiftly as other bones.
You don't have to be a degree in physiology and anatomy to come to the conclusion that the rate of regeneration is faster in this particular breed of human, exceeding the regeneration rates of some of the best animals in the regular world.
can spit fire out of my mouth that will incinerate the world and not ever get a blister on my bottom lip.
The katon chakra does not seem to become fire until it is expelled from what I see. After an extended period of time parts of the body become more accustomed to higher temperatures ( frequent cooks regularly have fingers that are less sensitive to heat than newbie cooks), hence why after a certain amount of time training the fireball jutsu there won't be blisters or burns.
I can turn my body into water and still remain sentient enough after I have liquefied my brain, to direct my mass in its new phase of matter toward making actions of any kind.
This yang release allows the Hozuki to turn themselves into jelly-like creatures, where the physical limitations of having a largely solid body (bones, muscle, etc.) are replaced with the physically flexible gelly-like substance that they turn into. This mass modification of body, to explain to the last detail, is beyond the scope of most fights, and so the explaining stops short in saying that if something were to happen to the gel body, then the main body would be affected because it is still the body of the individual.
I can create a satellite moon so huge that its very own gravitational field will draw everything up into it negating the gravitational pull of the very earth upon which my enemies stand upon, without throwing the earth's orbit off kilter, while hovering in the air within a stone's throw of the event and not even have my robes flutter from the massive event...
Not everything is drawn up. The principle of the Deva path pull selectively increases the gravitational attraction between two objects; the chibaku tensei then probably works with a similar mechanism on a much larger scale. To be affected orbit-wise by this on a level that is noticeable to the average person would require a chibaku tensei of a much larger size than that seen in the series.
http://www.livescience.com/32120-can-a-nuclear-blast-alter-earths-rotation.htmlIn a world where metaphysical creatures exist from alternate dimensions, where spirit energy is a tangible force that can be manipulated, where esoteric concepts like chakra can be measured, clearly they do not follow the fundamental concepts of physics as WE define them, otherwise while the hell would raiton be effective against doton. The elemental wheel itself is flawed as far as science is concerned.
Many concepts are derived from just the series, including the elemental wheel. These alternate worlds and creatures exist and defy all sorts of things about the world today, but some of these divergences still make reasonable sense in our actual world.
Lightning release beating earth release is a matter of thinking. Lazers can blast rock, but natural lightning only marginal affects the ground at large. However, if there was a large rock right in the path of the natural lightning, I'm willing to bet that it would destroy that.
Water erodes earth regularly, but if the water doesn't have enough force to it (a ripple on a pond compared to a crashing beach wave) then a solid mass of earth is not going anywhere, and will just take the attack. Only after repeated crashing and wearing without regeneration will the mass of earth be taken down a peg.
The principle of chakra itself is the magical element to things, and in many ways, magic is just a special kind of energy in this fantasy world that can be manipulated and used. Where narutoverse logic fails real world logic can often pick up, and vice versa.
------------------
Finding harmony between the two is the fun in it. I mean, it really is sometimes nice to be able to come to a game and use some of that knowledge learned in school, or heck, applying it so that it can be learned in the first place. Nothing makes physics a little less tedious than using its principles to come up with a strategy or move that totally blows the competition bananas.
It's also fun to just use narutoverse logic too, since that typically requires far less typing.
