is excited about 
I know there's plasma and some other weird ones but look. As exciting as plasma is, we talk about water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 but I don't know when water "plasmas". It's just too far out of the way of normal things that happen to it. Common substances should freeze at one temperature, boil at another temperature, and then have a third temperature maybe between the two where they do something else. I know two state transitions is a really good and convenient number but that's exactly my problem; that makes it suspicious to me. I think it's too convenient, which means it ought to be worse. You know what I mean?
I think that I know what you mean...
..But what if, by analogy of the 4+1 elements, we instead do five states of matter:
-
Earth<0â°C: solid ice
- H2O molecules rigidly pack together
-
Water0â100â°C: liquid water
- H2O molecules flow between each other
-
Air100â1000â°C: water vapour
- H2O molecules get away from each other
-
Fire>1000âï»żÂ°C: ..plasma of water constituents1
- H2O atoms and electrons get away from each other
-
Aether=777âï»żÂ°C: quintessential water
- H2O molecules' ontologicalâstate is elevated to one of utter perfection, thereby stripping it of its imperfect material state of being, never mind its state of matter
- good luck keeping it at precisely 777ââŻÂ°C
(this is the âsomething elseâ in question that reflects normal things that happen to water âright)
+ the suspiciously convenient numbers
also i took and modified the platonic svgs from this guy(also i'm cheating my markdown)1

..i actually didn't know that water would basically stop being water when heated into plasma until i worked on this cochopost aaaa
