Mini Einstei Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have discovered a fifth matter of state while browsing online but I don't know if it is reliable. Everyone knows about Solid, Gas, Liquid and Plasma but I have discovered Bose-Einstein Condensate. It is formed by bosons cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. Under such conditions most of the atoms collapse into the lowest quantum state. BEC is before Solid so it should be the 1st state of matter. Below is the theory: Tc is the critical temperature, n the particle density, m the mass per boson, h Planck's constant, kB the Boltzmann constant, and ¦Æ the Riemann zeta function; ¦Æ(3 / 2) ¡Ö 2.6124.

insane_alien Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Its reliable. its a well known phenomena now. also, try googling fermionic condensate. and google wikipedia for states of matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 It's reliable (though the quality of the site itself might not be; can't tell without looking at the site). The realization of a BEC won the 2001 Nobel prize in physics for Ketterle, Cornell and Wieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
