Re:Aint Phyziks Greit...



Actually, to be completely pointy-headed about it, there is a sixth state of
matter:

6) Bose-Einstein Condensate

Which occurs with materials like hydrogen when they are cooled to
temperatures very close to absolute zero (_COLD!_).  Materials in this state
resemble liquids but they have zero viscosity and exhibit lots of other
unusual properties.  

I don't think we have to worry about this state of matter, even on the
coldest of mornings when we're trying to change a transmission in the snow.
