@baxum: Glass is an amorphous solid. This means two things. 1. Its atoms have no longer range order and are randomly distributed. 2. It is in a phase between solid and liquid. Now obviously glass is far far far more solid than liquid. But it dies have a viscosity value and not flow. I am well aware people will not watch this whole video, or even worse understand it and bring up the windows example or other things that are false. That being said calling glass a liquid is not completely false as it will drip if left long enough unlike other solids. #Science #funfacts #college #engineering #purdue

Ichika Nakano :

got this from https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/Glass/glass.html "The question "Is glass solid or liquid?" has no clear answer. In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics, it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid. The difference is semantic. Even in terms of its material properties, we can do little better. No clear definition exists of the distinction between solids and highly viscous liquids. All such phases or states of matter are idealisations of real material properties. Nevertheless, from a more commonsense point of view, glass should be considered a solid since it is rigid according to everyday experience. The use of the term "supercooled liquid" to describe glass still persists, but is considered by many to be an unfortunate misnomer that should be avoided. In any case, claims that glass panes in old windows have deformed due to glass flow have never been substantiated. Examples of Roman glassware and calculations based on measurements of glass visco-properties indicate that these claims cannot be true. The observed features are more easily explained as a result of the imperfect methods used to make glass window panes before the float glass process was invented."

Metal can also melt

Misinformation glass is a solid pitch is a liquid

M🅾️rt :

It’s called an amorphous solid

It Was My Cat :

no it's not, it's an amorphous solid

zamn :

this works for everything at some point

Andrei :

Glass is a solid, stop spreading misinformation.

Benschman :

no. glass is a solid. it's an amorpheus solid.

This is actually a common myth. A lot of people thought it was just a super viscous liquid cause old windows tend to be thicker at the bottom, but that was just an effect of how windows used to be made. Glass is a solid.

Bryce :

Oh so then steel is a liquid too then huh

Guy finds out about changing types of matter

pikachuLover :

so like is it a spectrum? like each object can be closer to solid or closer to liquid? like would something like stone eventually drip over quadrillions of years?

Zeke! :

Metal is a liquid according to his logic

Vladimir Negro :

Solid? Liquid?

Tungsten is also a liquid.

kale.piller 🇨🇦 :

By that logic; indium, tungsten, and gallium are also liquids because the melt.

SOO Everything is a liquid?💔
