All known on earth stable nuclear particles have volumes proportional to their atomic mass numbers, so that their radii are proportional to the cubic roots of those numbers. Hence the volume of the 14 amu N nucleus is 14 times larger than the volume of the proton or neutron, and its radius is 2.41 times the 1.1 fm proton radius. The radius of the 238 U nucleus is 7.2 fm. Due to this relation the density of matter in all such stable nuclear particles is 3 10^14 times the density of water. The mass of the electron (or positron) is 1836 times smaller than the proton mass, so that the electron radius should be 11.7 times smaller than the radius of the proton or neutron. This yields for the electron radius the value of 0.094 fm , which agrees with the results of scattering of fast electron beams on electrons that yielded for the electron radius a value below 0.1 fm. Hence all the stable nuclear particles belong to one aggregation state including the electrons and positrons. The unit cube of the epola has a volume of (4.4fm)^3=85 fm^3, and contains 1 electron or positron. Hence the density of the epola is 9.1 10^-31 kg divided by 85 10^-45 m^3 =10^13 kg/m^3=~10^10 times the density of water. Hence the epola should be considered as a distinct aggregation state of nuclear matter.
