The Missing Model of the Liquid State, from Crystalline Solid State to Random Gas State

Liquid state of materials has not had a successful physics-based model, for example, water, the most abundant and life-dependent, although the components of a successful model have been well-developed and successfully employed in applications, for examples, semiconductor physics-based solid-state electronics in communication (stereo, TV, PC, cell phone) and control (simple to complex robotics). The two missed culprits in physics are the long range order in the crystalline solid state which continues persistently into the higher kinetic energy fluidic liquid state, and also the dynamics of isolated molecules in a random ensemble of the gas phase at higher kinetic energies which continue persistently into the lower kinetic energy fluidic liquid state. The recent success of this new approach of combining the solid-state and gas-state to model the liquid state of pure water (such as the 80+ mega-ohm pure drinking water sold at the grocery stores for 75 cents) is described and extended to all the liquid states of materials in this presentation.
