Did you hear about the recent assert of a 'new state of matter'?

Howdy Zac,
"My what big eyes you got, Granma".... as Little Red Riding Hood said to the
big bad wolf.
The people pursuing this theory are "parallel" but not on track with what
some scientists describe as a 5th state of matter for the simple reason that
a 5th state does not exists except in the imaginary. Again, pursuit of such
a synthesis of matter can only be done with a new form of synthetic(
imaginary) math to describe the change in state one is imagining. Is the
pursuit useful? Yes! and extremely challenging. Keep your eyes on the MS Q
Team at UC Santa Barbara because they have their head screwed on straight.
One may conjecture that the "end product" may come out of the end of the
pipe "opposite to the direction of flow"..hmmm.
Which would answer a perplexing question of how the direction of flow within
a water vortex can be bi-directional while exiting down a drain.
Last year we tested a high speed water vortex inducer that produced a near
perfect cylinder shaped vortex. This shape differs from a parabolic
"tornado" shape we are all familar with. The cylinder shape has an "eyewall"
like a hurricane. This cylinder shape permits a better examination of free
electrons and a host of "rabbit holes" one can travel and become
mis-directed.
