Gas is one of the three classical states of matter (the others being liquid and solid). Near absolute zero, a substance exists as a solid. As heat is added to this substance it melts into a liquid at its melting point (see phase change), boils into a gas at its boiling point, and if heated high enough would enter a plasma state in which the electrons are so energized that they leave their parent atoms from within the gas. A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas or atomic gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer. The interaction of gas particles in the presence of electric and gravitational fields are considered negligible as indicated by the constant velocity vectors in the image.

Allegra: So how does it feel?::Ted: What?::Allegra: Your real life. The one you came back for.::Ted: It feels completely unreal.::Allegra: You're stuck now, aren't ya? You want to go back to the Chinese restaurant because there's nothing happening here. We're safe. It's boring.::Ted: It's worse than that. I'm not sure... I'm not sure here, where we are, is real at all. This feels like a game to me. And you, you're beginning to feel a bit like a game character.
Ted: What the fuck are you doing? You killed him. Are you going to kill me next?::Allegra: Pikul, he was only a game character. I didn't like how he was messing with my mind.::Ted: You didn't like that, so you killed him?::Allegra: He's only a game character!::Ted: Allegra, what if we're not in the game anymore?::Allegra: If we're not.::Ted: If we're not then you just killed someone real.
Ted: I actually think there's an element of psychosis involved here.
Ted: I want to put the game on pause. The game can be paused, can't it? I mean, all games can be paused, right?::Allegra: Yeah, sure. But why? What's wrong? Aren't you dying to see what's so special about the special?::Ted: I'm feeling a little disconnected from my real life. I'm kinda losing touch with the texture of it. You know what I mean? I actually think there is an element of psychosis involved here.
Various: Death to the demoness Allegra Geller!
Ted: [points gun at Allegra's head] Death to the demoness, Allegra Geller.::Allegra: That's not funny.::Ted: Sorry.::[lowers the gun]::Ted: But you know, I do feel the urge to kill someone here.::Allegra: Who?::Ted: I need to kill our waiter.::Allegra: Oh. Well that makes sense. Um, waiter! Waiter!::[she calls over waiter]::Allegra: When he comes over, do it. Don't hesitate.::Ted: But... everything in the game is so realistic, I-I don't think I really could.::Allegra: You won't be able to stop yourself. You might as well enjoy it.::Ted: Free will... is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours.::Allegra: It's like real life. There's just enough to make it interesting.::Ted: [looking at approaching waiter] He's too nice! I won't do it.::Chinese Waiter: What can I do to make your lunch more pleasant?::Ted: I found this in my soup.::[holds up gun]::Ted: And I'm very upset.::[shoots waiter]
[first lines]::Seminar Leader: eXistenZ. Written like this. One word. Small 'E', capital 'X', capital 'Z'. 'eXistenZ'. It's new, it's from Antenna Research, and it's here... right now.
Allegra: The only way I can tell if everything is OK is to play eXistenZ with somebody friendly. Are you friendly, or are you not?
Ted: It's none of your business who sent us! We're here and that is all that matters... God, what happened? I didn't mean to say that.::Allegra: It's your character who said it. It's kind of a schizophrenic feeling, isn't it? You'll get used to it. There are things that have to be said to advance the plot and establish the characters, and those things get said whether you want to say them or not. Don't fight it.
Allegra: Oh God!::Ted: What happened?::Allegra: The whole pod just disappeared into your back.::Ted: It disappeared into my back? It's in my spine? It's working its way around my spinal cord?::Allegra: Don't panic, it's just a game.
What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide
That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
Better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way
My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give another chancer
An hour to sing for his soul
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray
Panic is on the way
Panic is on the way
Me - it feels isolated, assuage me, suffocate me
Me - it feels, inflammation, domination, you choke me
You choke me
