Their behavior is described by an equation that adds a coupling constant based on scattering lengths to the Schrödinger equation, known as the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. They can implode if their wavefunctions are made to be attractive, and they can spontaneously flow out of containers as well as greatly slow a beam of light. One of their namesakes first proposed the idea but could not get his work published until the other namesake saw it. For 10 points, name this state of matter named for an Indian and a German who also name the statistics that govern their particles.
