There are more than 10 different states of matter

My opponent concedes in the comments but I would still like to continue this debate if possible. states of matter are distinguished by changes in specific heat capacity, pressure and temperature. States are distinguished by a discontinuity in one of those properties: for example, raising the temperature of ice produces a clear discontinuity at 0 °C as energy goes into phase transition, instead of temperature increase. In the 20th century, increased understanding of the more exotic properties of matter has resulted in many additional states of matter, none of which are observed in normal conditions. The list is ordered roughly in terms of increasing energy density. The Classical states include: - Solid: A solid holds a rigid shape without a container. Amorphous Solid: A solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms. Crystalline Solid: A solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern. Plastic Crystal: A molecular solid with long-range positional order but with constituent molecules retaining rotational freedom. Quasicrystal: A solid in which the positions of the atoms have long-range order, but is not in a repeating pattern. Liquid: A mostly non-compressible fluid. Able to conform to the shape of its container but retaining a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. Liquid Crystal: Properties intermediate between liquids and crystals. Generally, able to flow like a liquid but exhibiting long-range order. Disordered Hyperuniformity: It behaves like a crystal and a liquid. The density of particles over large distances is the same like a crystal. It is also a liquid in the sense that at smaller distances, the particles display same physical properties in all directions. Gas: A compressible fluid. Not only will a gas conform to the shape of its container but it will also expand to fill the container. Plasma: free charged particles, usually in equal numbers, such as ions and electrons. Unlike gases, plasmas may self-generate magnetic fields and electric currents, and respond strongly and collectively to electromagnetic forces. Colloids: "in betweens", containing two or more forms of matter. Examples are shaving foam and butter. This is already more than 10 states of matter and we haven't even begun on the modern states and the very high energy states. The bullet points aren't really working properly so I wont list all of the states of matter here since it is unneccessary. I have already provided you with over 10 states of matter. In case my opponent is unaware I will state the dictionary definition of the states of matter:States of Matter: In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms that matter takes on. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. As I have pointed out in bold in this defintion. Just because only four states of matter are observable in everyday life this does not mean that there are only 4 states of matter. Many schools teach only the four states of matter since the rest of the states of matter will confuse children and the knowledge is not needed unless they take it as one of there higher exams. People who do not take on further science and look at the topic in depth will think that there are only four states of matter however as I have shown there are many more states of matter.
