Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs)the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century agoare formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius).
At this point, the atoms become a single entity with quantum properties, wherein each particle also functions as a wave of matter.
BECs straddle the line between the macroscopic world governed by forces such as gravity and the microscopic plane, ruled by quantum mechanics.
Creating the fifth state of matter, especially within the physical confines of a space station, is no mean feat.
First, bosonsatoms that have an equal number of protons and electronsare cooled to near absolute zero using lasers to clamp them in place.
The slower the atoms move around, the cooler they become.
As they lose heat, a magnetic field is introducedto keep them from moving and each particle's wave expands. Cramming many bosons into a microscopic "trap" that causes their waves to overlap into a single matter wavea property known as quantum degeneracy.
The second the magnetic trap is released in order for scientists to study the condensate, however, the atoms begin to repel each other, causing the cloud to fly apart and the BEC to becomes too dilute to detect.
Thompson and the team realized that the microgravity on board the ISS allowed them to create BECs from rubidiuma soft metal similar to potassiumon a far shallower trap than on Earth. This accounted for the vastly increased time the condensate could be studied before diffusing.

a property known as quantum degeneracy.
I think my girlfriend’s father used this phrase once back in 1975...
Sounds a lot like this country.
Ok....
Now, even our quantums are degenerate.
Very cool!
And then theres Beyond the Standard Model (BSM), where you also get into all types of Antifa particles
Bosons Are Matter
Bosons do matter.
If I could just get my hands on some.
And in Seattle anti-scientists tested to see if Black Living Matter (BLM) could be created using turbinium atoms cool to the nth degree...
American Dad on Bosons.
Just remember, don’t hit Roger with Bosons.

There are even more states of matter! Degenerate matter which exists in White Dwarf stars, a very compact state of matter. The condition creates a new kind of chemical bond involving magnetism. There is even a paper out there somewhere of polymer chains of helium and hydrogen forming because of this. Then there is neutronium which is what neutron stars are made of. Smashed together so tight neutrons are all there is (neutrons normally decay in about 12 minutes). Finally whatever stuff a black hole is made of is the last state of matter any matter ever sees.
Demand money from him instead! Mozlems routinely enslaved whites back before Christian science left them in the dust!

Totally underrated movie!
Early 20’s Milla Jovovich was indeed wow. Multipass.
Bosoms can be elusive.
Sometimes they act like particles [with mass].
Other times they act like waves.
Trapping bosoms against their will can get a guy in trouble.
