It's always nice to learn something new about science. For instance, up to this point, I thought that there were only four states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. However, I just learned today there's a fifth state of matter, known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. This isn't new, but it's so fundamental that I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger story. I guess that since a lot of the time you only hear about three states of matter, the fact there's five is not a big deal. We at least encounter plasma occasionally in our daily lives, but we'll probably never encounter a Bose-Einstein condensate. Still, I think it's important to know as much as you can, even if all that knowledge isn't imminently practical. So, read all about Bose-Einstein condensates, and expand your mind.
