Title:The six states of matter

Published at: The Electric Universe web site on 2002-03-08

Four states of matter are well known: solid, fluid, gaseous and plasma.
All of these are thermal states: their particles have the heat motion
i.e. motion in all 3 possible dimensions. The energy of this heat motion
produces these four thermal states of matter - in relation to the
attractive electric forces among their particles e.g. in ice-crystal or
water. But the 20^th century did not answer following questions:

* Is there another state of matter which is more energetic than plasma?
* How can we explain the cosmic rays up to particle energies of
10^21 electronvolt?
* Filaments of the solar corona seem to be very hot without clear
heating process, why?
* Why are filaments and jets so very thin - as recently discovered?
* Why did SOHO not find the solar dynamo (its most important goal)?
* *How many states of matter are theoretically possible?*

One of the states of matter is the Bose-Einstein condensate. It has zero
thermal-energy. We should give the number zero to it (table below); also
because of its proximity to the 0K. Its popular name of the "fifth state
of matter" is clearly incorrect since heated plasma will never be
transformed to this Bose-Einstein condensate.

Taking this into consideration, the filaments should belong to "the
fifth state of matter <http://www.5th-state-of-matter.com/>". Sparks,
electron beams in TV, lightnings, ion jets in the spacecraft Deep Space
1, in accelerator machines like CERN, ions in the future fusion-reactor,
solar coronae, flares, jets of young stars, jets at black holes and at
neutron stars (electric magnetars
<http://www.electric-universe.de/scripts/elec_magnetars.htm>) belong to
this most energetic state of matter. Solar flare-particles have 10^10
eV, those of the hottest plasma (in supernovae) only 10^5 eV. Filaments
are the largest bodies of the Universe. These filaments and jets have an
exact circular cross section, can oscillate and are produced
electrically from e.g. plasma. Its particles move in only one direction
i.e. without the thermal zig-zag. The fifth state of matter is also a
non-thermal state! Interestingly, particles in the most energetic state
of matter do not emit heat due to their flight along straight lines.
These particle-motions in filaments were already named recently:
"non-thermal motions". For example, the solar wind has a "non-thermal
velocity" of 750km/s which would need a solar surface of 24 million
Kelvin. Solar mass ejection of a "non-thermal velocity" of 1500 km/s
should have 96 MK.

energy of its particles:*

The theoretic category, in which particles move in two dimensions, is
impossible, because such bodies cannot exist. They would have zero
volume. Plasma particles above 10^5 eV cannot exist because hypernovae
cannot exist. Filament-particles above 10^26 eV cannot exist. The
largest neutron stars of three sunmasses have only 10^26 V. The energy
of the particles has an upper limit in all states of matter. Therefore,
very probably, *the Universe has these six states of matter, not more
and not less.*
