solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and perhaps a fith state? Rate Topic: -----

If plasma is a fourth state of mass that is mass existing as information in a ray of light, than perhaps this information can also be imprinted on faster than light rays of neutrinos as simple "laps, or folds" in their lines of momentum.

Plasma is ionized gas, I'm not sure what you are suggesting by plasma is information in a light ray...

Your right, I don't why I think of plasma as light.

Solid, liquid, vapor, supercritical fluid and superfluid are all observed states of matter.

Some do consider plasma as the a fourth form of matter.

Also, for others above, photons can be modelled as a plasma in lazers.

No you can actually think of some forms of photons as a plasma. Some even consider a photon gas.

That is, simply, a collection of photons which behave either like a plasma or like a gas.

Yes, plasma is another state of matter. There are a lot more than four, though. That's what I was trying to get across :D

Let's not forget Einstein-Bose Condensates!

The big question is, can matter accelerate to nuetrino like state?

As are nematic, isotropic, lamellar, liquid ordered, liquid disordered, jammed, cat, hot, and waste.

I would have had to go to wikipedia for those!
