Ah yes quite. Ther are 5 "states" of matter and one of those states is 
"superconductor". I
didn't make this up but it was in one of those 200 level  physics 
classes I had to take in
collage. A material that is in the superconductive state "ACTS" 
differently then matter in
the other states.

An intersting side issue is glass is a high desity liquid which is 
slowly moving (glass
that is 100+ years old is actually denser at the base then at the top).
