Let's take a look at some of these differences. One is length.

It's no longer a solid, a liquid or a gas. It enters a new state of matter called a superfluid. The atoms lose their individual identity, and the rules from the quantum world take over, and that's what gives superfluids such spooky properties.

Ginnifer Goodwin
American Actress
