You forgot the fifth, superdense; that which exists in a
gravitationally collapsed state. The cores of neutron stars
approach this state. The bodies of black holes are theorized
to consist of such matter. Observations of the gravitational
behavior of such bodies appear to confirm the existence of
such matter, though obody will know fir certain until their
little space capsule sets down onto the surface of a singularity.
