The fourth state of matter just can't catch a break! While America proudly flaunts its 50 states, physics textbooks worldwide are still stuck in a three-party system. Poor plasma—making up 99.9% of the visible universe including stars, lightning, and those cool glowy balls at science museums—gets completely ghosted in basic science education. It's like inviting the three least interesting guests to your matter party while leaving out the one that literally powers the sun. Next time someone lists "solid, liquid, gas" as the states of matter, just remember they're committing a cosmic injustice against the most abundant state in the universe. #JusticeForPlasma
