Well did anyone (apart from Mik cause he will know this) that there are 16 and most probably over states of matter? they are as follows; 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas 4. Amphorous Solid 5. Liquid Crystal states (the state changes too often to not be pluralized) 6. Magnettically Ordered states (same as above) 7. Superconductors 8. Superfluids 9. Bose-Einstein condesates (bec) 10. Plasma 11. Quark-gluon plasma 12. Degenerate matter 13. Supersolid 14. String-net liquid 15. Rydberg matter and 16. Strange matter. Yes STRANGE matter. I know this isn't technically in context with the rest of the thread, but I'm sure that there will be one point in brawl when you're fighting a really spammy Metaknight player (like me if I had brawl) and be thinking; boy I sure could use some Bose-Einstein condesate right about now.  most of those are just specific examples of more fundamental phases , or aren't really phases at all . |

Well, aren't the first 3 generalized terms of all forms of matter? |

no . plasma doesn't fit solid , liquid , or gas . amorphous solid is ambiguously solid or liquid . same with supersolid . liquid crystal is liquid with high viscosity due to high field afinity . superconductor is not a material phase . superfluid is an ambiguous liquid / gas . most of the rest listed are only hypothetical . |

Ahh, I see. I would have seen them as sub-categories of matter, at the least. Makes sense too though. |

The person responsible for the quoted post knows what he's talking about. I, on the other hand, don't. All I can add is that becs are only found in temperatures just above absolute zero (-272 or 273, I forget which). |

If my memory serves me correctly, Rocky's a molecular engineer. |

-273, if they heat up even slightly then they begin to act very strange; if in abeaker they will actually climb the side of the beaker and push the lid open to try to lose heat |

Stop using Wikipedia. Especially during IT. |

Blood plasma is something different altogether. Like a set in tennis and a television set. |
