Learning that glass is neither solid nor liquid has been the biggest fuckening of my brain I’ve had in my life. I actually felt dirty after learning such a thing.

I don’t think that’s true? all i know is that, that was said for the longest time dude to evidence of old glass in windows, as the aged they got thicker at the bottom. but that was really due to poor glass making techniques. i do think Glass is classified as a solid.

to be fair, it just has very high viscosity, it just doesn’t flow as much like other liquids… think of like magma but without the heat there’s just not enough kinetic energy

I think we’re proving Gear’s statement now.
