== Biology ==
The term '''phase''' can either refer to a state of matter (see Phases of Matter below), or it can refer to the phase property associated with wave mechanics. In wave mechanics, waves of the same medium which are out-of-phase will attenuate each other (in a fashion that is dependent on their other respective wave properties) by way of destructive interference. Conversely, waves which are in-phase will reinforce each other by way of constructive interference.

On [[Earth]], the first three phases to be documented were researched by the [[Greece|Ancient Greeks]]. They include:
 
 
*[[Solid]]
 
*[[Liquid]]
 
*[[Gas]]
 
 
As Human scientific knowledge developed, a fourth state was added: [[plasma]].
 
 
Both [[matter]] and [[antimatter]] can exist in these phases.
