    Matter Phases
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the phases of matter, particularly highlighting Bose-Einstein Condensates as a significant state. Participants mention that there are nearly ten theoretical types of matter, including neutronium and quark-gluon plasma. The conversation emphasizes the complexity and variety of matter beyond the classical states. Resources are shared for further exploration of phase transitions and matter definitions. Understanding these phases is crucial for grasping advanced concepts in physics.

My teacher asked me in class what the phases of matter were and I had no clue what they were after Bose-Einstein Condensates. So I'm wondering if any of you can tell me how many there are and what they are? :confused:

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
