What?! Solids degenerate matter? Either it is too late or there is something wrong here....--AN 07:06 Nov 7, 2002 (UTC)
- After one false start I have now addressed the above query (see article history). It was certainly worth doing as it provided the opportunity to point to metals, thereby linking together solid state physics as well as astrophysics and quantum mechanics. Alan Peakall 12:13 Nov 8, 2002 (UTC)
A proposed name for white dwarf material.
I have a suggestion for a name for white dwarf material => densimetal
I've choose this name basically because white dwarf material is very, very dense, and has many similarities to metals (or should metals be considered something similar to white dwarf material? :-) ).
What do you think about this name?

This seems to me wrong terminology - the conduction electrons alone as a degenerate, free electron gas - What!!! an electron gas? this is confusing as a gas is the most compressible state and degenerate matter is as far as one can get from compressiblity. Gepay@jaemspay@ntelos .net a gas of electrons ho ho ho I believe in Santa Claus and dark matter

can you guys rewrite that article so that normal people can understand what you are talking of!? what is 'dominant contribution'? the article is written in a way that only people who know what degenerate matter is can recognize the meaning.it is not explanatory. if you know what that article is about you might say:"oh well". but someone without any knowledge about that matter wont get any benefit out of it. --212.202.37.226 21:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)jangirke
- I've glanced at this article. Certainly a person who does not know any physics could not understand it, but maybe that is because this topic can be understood only by those who know some physics. It does not look to me as if you need to know what degenerate matter is to understand the definition given here. The words "dominant contribution" would be understood by any normal high-school graduate. You'd be more credible if you'd learn to spell elite and elitism. Michael Hardy 22:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
