| Mar 12, 2016 at 22:17 | comment | added | Volker Siegel | If there were only one phase, a different set of theories would describe them - not so sure; My bet is on "no theories would describe them" - I just can not imagine thinking organisms to exist based on one phase. At least none capable of having the concepts "theory" or "set". Or "concept". | |

| Mar 10, 2016 at 9:47 | comment | added | dotancohen | Actually, so far as our ability to measure and interpret are concerned, the ultimate answer to a "why" physics question is "energy". I've also taught my daughters the corollary the ultimate answer to a "why" people question is "money". | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 19:18 | comment | added | anna v | @Michael well, in cosmological models and ion ion scattering there exists the quark gluon plasma, and then there is the inflation period before that. The four are the "well established " ones. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 19:05 | comment | added | Michael | Is there any reason (aside from our difficulty creating them) to limit the "fundamental" states to only four? At high enough energies you get things like degenerate matter, or even matter in which separate forces combine (e.g. what I would like to call electro-weak matter or even electro-weak-strong matter). | |
