This tree in Mexico or Jamaica (?) looks as if it is melting. But it's not (!). This tree is a solid...or is it...?
A solid now is not necessarily a solid later, true? And a liquid that cannot move, such as pop in a can, behaves like a solid, no? Maybe a liquid is a string of momentary solids. Perhaps a tree over time is not truly a solid... Maybe what separates a liquid from a solid is literally time itself. A liquid with no time or place to move acts like a solid, but is normally, well, quite fluid. A gas, when pressurized, such as in gusting wind, may feel quite the same as a liquid, for example how a wave feels when swimming. Fill your cheeks with air and the gas may act like a solid. The states of matter seem integrally linked to each other and to the the dimensions. A solid seems determined in a linear, downward motion. A liquid, if resisted from going downwards, quickly spreads to form a plane. A gas favors a near-even dissipation in a room, filling its' entire volume. A plasma, with nowhere to turn, seeks to superimpose space by its' strong demand for a countercharged "live-in" partner - it spreads inwards.
