First, the NewScientist.com article:

...
Wen suspected that the effect could be an example of a new type of matter. Different phases of matter are characterised by the way their atoms are organised. In a liquid, for instance, atoms are randomly distributed, whereas atoms in a solid are rigidly positioned in a lattice. FQHE systems are different. "If you take a snapshot of the position of electrons in an FQHE system they appear random and you think you have a liquid," says Wen. But step back, and you see that, unlike in a liquid, the electrons dance around each other in well-defined steps.
t is as if the electrons are entangled. Today, physicists use the term to describe a property in quantum mechanics in which particles can be linked despite being separated by great distances. Wen speculated that FQHE systems represented a state of matter in which entanglement was an intrinsic property, with particles tied to each other in a complicated manner across the entire material.
This led Wen and Levin to the idea that there may be a different way of thinking about matter. What if electrons were not really elementary, but were formed at the ends of long "strings" of other, fundamental particles? They formulated a model in which such strings are free to move "like noodles in a soup" and weave together into huge "string-nets".

And now, the Gospel of Truth:
quote:For the Father is sweet and his will is good. He knows the things that are yours, so that you may
rest yourselves in them. For by the fruits one knows the things that are yours, that they are the
children of the Father, and one knows his aroma, that you originate from the grace of his
countenance. For this reason, the Father loved his aroma; and it manifests itself in every place; and
when it is mixed with matter, he gives his aroma to the light; and into his rest he causes it to
ascend in every form and in every sound. For there are no nostrils which smell the aroma, but it is
the Spirit which possesses the sense of smell and it draws it for itself to itself and sinks into the
aroma of the Father. He is, indeed, the place for it, and he takes it to the place from which it has
come, in the first aroma which is cold. It is something in a psychic form, resembling cold water
which is [...] since it is in soil which is not hard, of which those who see it think, "It is earth."
Afterwards, it becomes soft again. If a breath is taken, it is usually hot. The cold aromas, then, are
from the division. For this reason, God came and destroyed the division and he brought the hot
Pleroma of love, so that the cold may not return, but the unity of the Perfect Thought prevail.
