The Fifth State of Matter



An entirely new state of matter known to be neither solid, nor liquid, nor gaseous is a prediction by an Indian physicist named Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein which has become a reality in its prediction after the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) that has shifted our minds on how we perceive the discovery of physics. This discovery paves way into further research and investigation in quantum mechanics.

How did Bose-Einstein Condensate come about?
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is the name given to a peculiar quantum state of matter that was theorized to exist in the mid-1920s by two of the greatest minds in physics, Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein. 

The greatest minds of the 20th century reasoned that particles would merge into one cohesive entity if they were maintained at low densities and cooled to extremely low temperatures—just a few degrees below absolute zero.          READ MORE...
