[Intro]
Exotic States (high energy) extreme physics
(Kick in the music)

[Verse 1]
Liquid Crystal (mesophase)
Mesmerize (crystalize)
Between liquid and solid:
flows like a liquid,
ordered like a solid.

[Bridge]
Extreme (scene)
I mean….

[Chorus]
High energy
Extreme physics
Somewhere betwixt
The fate (of an exotic state)

[Verse 2]
Amorphous Solid
Absurd? Obsidian.
Disordered solid
… no long-range structure.
Think fast past glass

[Bridge]
Extreme (scene)
I’ve seen….

[Chorus]
High energy
Extreme physics
Somewhere betwixt
The fate (of an exotic state)

[Bridge]
Extreme scene
(The sheen….)

[Chorus]
High energy
Extreme physics
Somewhere betwixt
The fate (of an exotic state)

[Outro]
Extreme scene
(The sheen….)

A SCIENCE NOTE

Exotic States (high energy, extreme physics)

1. Quark-Gluon Plasma

2. Hot, dense soup of free quarks and gluons.

3. Existed just after the Big Bang.

4. Created in particle colliders like the LHC.

5. Supercritical Fluid

6. Occurs above critical temperature & pressure.

7. Behaves like both a gas and a liquid.

8. Example: Supercritical CO₂ (used to decaffeinate coffee).

9. Time Crystal (hypothetical/experimental)

   • A structure that repeats in time, not just space.

   • No energy input, defies classical thermodynamics.

10. Supersolid (experimental)

• Matter with a rigid structure (solid) that also flows without friction (like a superfluid).

11. Liquid Crystal (mesophase)

• Between liquid and solid: flows like a liquid, has some order like a solid.

• Example: LCD screens.

12. Amorphous Solid

• Disordered solid—has no long-range structure.

• Example: Glass, obsidian.
