Is antimatter one state of matter, or should we handle it as in some other thing?
At first, I must say that the list of states of matter is very hard to complete because at first, we should describe the state of matter, and what means material? If we are thinking material as the group of primary particles, we must ask, should we calculate also quarks, Higgs bosons, superstrings, photons, and other things as matter?
Are quarks the state of matter, when they are forming the quark stars, or is fullerene one of the states of matter? It is one of the states of carbon atoms, but because of it's unique chemical qualities. This is a hard question.
____________________________________________________________________________
If antimatter is one of the states of matter, that means that the number of lists of the states of matter is double of this list of the states of matter. Are there over 20 different states of matter?
1: Solid
2: Liquid
3: Gas
4: Ion or plasmatic
5: Buse-Einstein condensate
6: Neutrons, when they are forming neutron stars
7: Quarks when they are forming quark stars
8: Dark matter
9: Singularity matter, what forms the Black Holes
10: Could the energy be one form of matter?
11: Could also hypothetical tachyon-particles one of the states of the matter
12: Could there be some kind of chaotic form of the matter, what is existing in the highest levels of energy. And the great mass of this chaotic form could exist in the young and very hot universe.
... and their antiparticles, what doubles the list. So can we ever make the complete list of the states of the matter?

This seems a very interesting thing, because even if antimatter is the mirror-material, what will annihilate or turns to energy when it touches with "normal matter". But if the mirror-particles would not touch together, antimatter doesn't differ anyway from "normal matter".
And here the words "normal matter" are written between the quotes, because we are calling the state of matter, where we are living as the "matter" and it's mirror particles "antimatter". So if we are making the induction thought, the matter means particle groups, which have certain polarities.
But the fact is that the tests, what are made in the particle accelerators have caused question, is there some chaotic state of matter? Or is the high-temperature quark-gluon soup, what formed the young universe, before even the first atoms were formed just after the Big Bang, and before quarks were connected to protons and neutrons as one of the states of matter?
And then we are facing things like neutrinos and mesons, we must ask are those things also some kind of matter? Or are photons state of matter too? Even if photon doesn't have mass, that thing can transfer energy to every other particle. So at this point, we must say, that we cannot probably ever make the list of the states of matter complete.
