37State of matter — A state of matter (or physical state, or form of matter) has physical properties which are qualitatively different from other states of matter.Traditionally, three states of matter were recognized: solid, which maintains a fixed volume and shape; …
38Degenerate matter — is matter that has such extraordinarily high density that the dominant contribution to its pressure is attributable to the Pauli exclusion principle.[1] The pressure maintained by a body of degenerate matter is called the degeneracy pressure, and …
