Exotic matter from radioactive bose-einstein condensate

Bose einstein condensate is the wave version of cool matter. Make it out of radioactive material and change the wave function of matter in new ways

simple wikipedia describes bose-einstein condensate as a "giant matter wave." Interpretively, Bose einstein condensate is a version of matter that is all wave.

Trying to think of ways of making exotic matter (like negative energy and others) I wondered if the wave identity version of a heap of disintegrating atoms might change a bose einstein condensate "wave' because of the new partial particles. Although i sure don't know, what if something like an antineutrino (decay product) becomes part of a large wavy wad of matter?

The thing is that you would have to have very radioactive atoms as BE condensates are only made of a few (thousand) atoms, and one or more has to decay to get the novel BE form/wave. the other thing you could do is have less radioactive atoms and have long duration of the BE condensate.

If (big if) BE condensate is actually a wave then the radioactive event might cause things like nodal superposition, interference or other things that are (kind of) new to atoms, thus generating exotic matter.

Again, as a technology the purpose is to generate new forms of exotic matter and then measure or use them.

       Well, it does have paragraph breaks ....

       [link] please.   

       Why do they call it a condensate if its all wave?

       [2f] you are right, the largest BEC I found online [link] is a billion atoms, so that makes the thingy easier to build.
