The problem of the soul

[Spongebob]

It is a disqualification. But I thought about something to declare the winner in this debate: does plasma have a gravitational pull?
If it is matter, it must have gravity. I frankly don't know the answer to that, and I seriously doubt that it's even discovered. Searched but No google results at my side.

From Wikipedia:  Plasmas are by far the most common phase of ordinary matter in the universe, both by mass and by volume.  (has mass and volume, is matter)

And another source discussing the mass of plasma:

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/214202/what-is-the-effective-electron-mass-in-a-plasma   (again, matter)

Also, when matter moves from a gas to plasma, it requires energy and when it returns to a gas it releases energy.  This conforms to the law of Thermodynamics, conservation of energy.  Plasma is just matter, no doubt about it; it's just at a higher energy state, ionized gas.  Read a physics book!  This is covered in Physics 1 in high school.
