Superconductor? Dang... that's the sixth!
Superfluid? Darn, that's the seventh!
Neutron star matter? The eight?
Plasma? Wow... isn't that the forth?
Must be a Bose-Einstein-Condensate, then.
PS: I made some of these things up. I don't think much of this
states of matter counting crap because it does not account for the different thermodynamic properties, at all. In the 19th century it did, maybe. But we have discovered so many new phenomena that one has to be a little bit more precise than
