5th state of matter?

I know there are four states of matter:

Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma

When will scientists discover a new state of matter?

Re: 5th state of matter?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

… Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Many other states are known such as Bose–Einstein condensates and neutron-degenerate matter but these only occur in extreme situations such as ultra cold or ultra dense matter. Other states, such as quark-gluon plasmas, are believed to be possible but remain theoretical for now. For a complete list of all exotic states of matter, see the list of states of matter.
