capt_chaos Report post Posted August 20, 2009 Glass is actually a liquid. Sorry, that's all I've got at the moment. Glass is refined sand burnt at a high temperature and then in the case of your windows floated onto a liquid tin, then cooled back to a solid. So not quite a liquid.

anon Report post Posted August 20, 2009 Glass is refined sand burnt at a high temperature and then in the case of your windows floated onto a liquid tin, then cooled back to a solid. So not quite a liquid. On a molecular level (amorphous solid?) it's closer to a liquid than a crystalline solid. The fact that is doesn't have the crystallization step puts it into the realm of a supercooled liquid than a true solid. It's been debated a lot lol.

Assman Report post Posted August 20, 2009 Okay debate this. Drink your window. Glass is generally classed as an amorphous solid rather than a liquid. Glass displays all the mechanical properties of a solid. The notion that glass flows to an appreciable extent over extended periods of time is not supported by empirical research or theoretical analysis (see viscosity of amorphous materials). From a more commonsense point of view, glass should be considered a solid since it is rigid according to everyday experience. Some people consider glass to be a liquid due to its lack of a first-order phase transition where certain thermodynamic variables such as volume, entropy and enthalpy are continuous through the glass transition range. However, the glass transition may be described as analogous to a second-order phase transition where the intensive thermodynamic variables such as the thermal expansivity and heat capacity are discontinuous. Despite this, the equilibrium theory of phase transformations in solids does not entirely hold for glass, and hence the glass transition cannot be classed as one of the classical equilibrium phase transformations in solids. Although the atomic structure of glass shares characteristics of the structure in a supercooled liquid, glass tends to behave as a solid below its glass transition temperature. A supercooled liquid behaves as a liquid, but it is below the freezing point of the material, and will crystallize almost instantly if a crystal is added as a core. The change in heat capacity at a glass transition and a melting transition of comparable materials are typically of the same order of magnitude, indicating that the change in active degrees of freedom is comparable as well. Both in a glass and in a crystal it is mostly only the vibrational degrees of freedom that remain active, whereas rotational and translational motion is arrested. This helps to explain why both crystalline and non-crystalline solids exhibit rigidity on most experimental time scales.

bashir26 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 glass like many other rocks look like liquid, but they are rocks and do have crystals but are too small to see since they go through a supercooling process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, you have different fingers. I see you're lost in thought. It must be unfamiliar territory. 73.6 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Roman Report post Posted August 21, 2009 In 1977, when Elvis died, there were 150 Elvis impersonators in the United States. Today there are over 85,000. If the present trend continues, by 2019 one in three Americans will be employed as an Elvis impersonator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelsRCool Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel, because it might be a train. If you were driving a car at the speed of light and turned on the headlights, what would happen? As far as the current physics show, no solid object can get to the speed of light. You can get very, very close to it (in theory) however... OR driving at the speed of sound and blowing your horn? Well I believe the sound waves would be right next to you, until you passed them. When aircraft go supersonic, you can see the aircraft fly by and then here the sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assman Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Well I believe the sound waves would be right next to you, until you passed them. When aircraft go supersonic, you can see the aircraft fly by and then here the sound. You hear the sound after seeing the aircraft because light travels much faster than sound, hence the light reaches your eyes significantly faster than the sound waves reach your ear. The further the distance the greater the effect. Which is why you see lightning before you hear thunder despite their occurance being simultanious.
