On June 16th, 1995, a postulate called the Bose-Einstein Condensate was proven by MIT or one of the other Tech Universities in a race to prove it. The winners managed to freeze to absolute zero some Boron atoms thus proving a transitional state of matter that was neither a gas or a solid. There's a fascinating Nova on this race of these schools to prove it first. Bose was an Indian mathematician that approached Einstein with this postulate & they 'proved' it with chalk & paper in the 1920s I think, thus the name of the Condensate. A few years back the Hedron Collider being discussed in this vid produced what they called the Colored Glass Condensate, which was a group of particles that broke off from the collision as a group. I'm not that smart, so I don't know why this fascinated me exactly, but I've always kept an eye on the Hedron Collider since it was built. Perhaps "Colored Glass" means something more, but it does make me think of stained glass windows in a church.
