technically can't most things be a liquid, solid, and gas under the right conditions?

Supercritical fluid.

Triple point.

D'oh, shouldn't respond so quickly

it's JELLO

Woot, four!

technically, there are 6 or 7 total (it's one of those two numbers)

i think i read it in a popular science article

Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Bose-Einstein Condensate
Degenerate Neutrons (neutron star)
Quark-Gluon Plasma

Those are the ones I'm pretty sure of. Superfluids might be another (like liquid helium), but I'm not sure if I'd classify them as a separate state. There are others which are kind of borderline too I guess... Fermi gases, Wigner crystals...

It is a supercooled fluid... BUT fluid doesn't necessarily mean a luiqid. It means matter that flows. Some gases are fkluids, and glass, on the othehand, is aa solid fluid.

Glass is not a supercooled fluid. Look up what supercooling is. I'd explain it, but it'd take less time and you'd get a better explanation with google.

:laugh:

No, but seriously, if you, or anyone else for that matter, says soquid again I'm going to hunt a sucka down and shove a pfoon in someone's ear.:thumbsup:

you mean it exists at thoundsands of degreesC as just free electrons?

amorphous solid FTW?

I'm not sure what that says, but it has supercooled fluid and glass in it. LOL, but in case I'm wrong, which happens many, many times a day, Blame my chem teacher.

I remember when I was in elmentary school, there was a scientist that came and explained stuff like solid gas and liquid, he make dry ice squeal with a quarter, dipped a rose in liquid nitrogen, and said that if he left a glass on the table and millions of years later it would be a blob.

Rumor of glass being a "liquid" supposedly started years ago when they couldn't make flat glass without flaws, lumps, etc.... Some of that glass was actually made by spinning it in a circle, eventually the glass on the outer part was thicker than the inside part....So people look at old glass with these lumps and assume that it has moved, sunk while in actuality it was always like that.

Did you always have no idea what you were talking about?

Argument for super-viscous liquid: for most normal solids, there is a clear melting point... for glass, it simply becomes less and less viscous as the temperature increases.

But, you're right about the panes of glass... I'd swear the prof taught us that they become thicker on the bottom over time (Glass Science class, ceramic engineering at Alfred University) If I really wanted to bother with it, I still have my notebooks from 20 years ago out in the garage.

i've heard this as well. they use to take a big blob of molten glass and out it on a big potters wheel. then cut the big circle into squares. and then for ease of use they would put the heavy/thick side down. probably a myth though.
