Traditionally, matter is classified into three common states: solid, liquid, and gas, based on atomic behavior on Earth. However, there are more states, including ionized plasma as the fourth state, and quark-gluon plasma as the fifth. Additional rare states include Bose-Einstein Condensates and Fermionic Condensates, making up the sixth and seventh states of matter, respectively. These states, achieved under extreme lab conditions, offer profound potential insights into the Universe's fundamental nature and have diverse applications despite their rarity.
At present, Bose-Einstein Condensates and Fermionic Condensates represent the sixth and seventh states of matter, achievable only under extreme laboratory conditions.
These additional states of matter, like Bose-Einstein and Fermionic Condensates, could play an important role in understanding the Universe and its fundamental nature.
The three common states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—are based on neutral atoms, but the Universe allows for more complex forms.
Ionized plasma and quark-gluon plasma, resulting from high energy conditions, represent the fourth and fifth states of matter beyond solids, liquids, and gases.
