How Many States Of Matter Are There?

The video explores the concept of states of matter, starting with classical states like solids, liquids, gases, and plasma, and moving to advanced and quantum states such as supercritical fluids, quark-gluon plasma, and time crystals. It discusses how states of matter are defined by emergent behaviors and interactions under specific conditions. The video also touches on macroscopic systems and conceptual states, suggesting that even consciousness could be considered a state of matter.
