I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is some way for the OP to pad his post count and perhaps get his ranking up. For all you know he might have actually read the FAQ on the rank/rating but just misinterpreted it..... as hard as it may be believing that people actually read the FAQ.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
Glass is a liquid. Go look at a the bottom of a really old window and you'll see that it actually bunches at the bottom. This is the glass actually "flowing" just like water or any other liquid does. It just does it very, very slowly.

Your argument is infallible!
QFT
Ice is another odd substance. Most people know ice as a frozen hunk of water. In fact though it can actually require heat to form. Ice comes in dozens of forms. Some which require massive amounts of heat. Materials in our universe will generally assume a form which requires the least energy to maintain. In the case of h20 when it gets cold enough the water assumes the form of a solid because the energy required to maintain fluid viscosity is to high. Ice though doesnt always form in cold tempatures.
Sometimes ice forms in extreme heats. Certain materials will assume a solid state rather then a gaseous state to save energies at high temperatures. Id recommend looking up Hot Ice. Its a fascinating subject.
Personally its my opinion that Glass is a mineral which assumed a liquid state when melted but didnt entirely reassume its solid state. More or less its stuck between a solid and liquid state in my opinion.
I really REALLY hope you are joking here
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Its funny how you provide a lack of evidence isant it? Not even a link to a article supporting your opinion.

Is glass a liquid or a solid is a question that has been up for debate for a very long time.
Before going into whether glass is a solid or liquid it is important one fully understands that there are not simply three states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas) but rather 4 to 26 depending on who you ask and/or the frequency of occurrence of the discussed state.
Stating glass is in fact a liquid is a bit asinine and hasty as there is more evidence empirically and through everyday experience to the contrary, the contrary being there is no easy and factually nondegradable solution.
The best one can hope to do is argue glass has both characteristics of a solid and a liquid and thusly is neither but rather another state of matter altogether. However, a recent study has shown evidence that glass behaves in a slightly more solid like fashion which does not conclusively prove glass's place as a state of matter but assuredly will increase the experimentation, debate and search to find an answer.

Wrong again you argued that Glass is a Liquid. And he basically said it was not a Liquid.

ITS A COLLOID!

Define your definition of liquid..............in your own words (not dictionnary allowed), let s see if we can sort this once and for all.
Waiting.............
So my solution to this thread: everyones opinion is right! ;-)
its atoms move freely and it flows and takes the shape of of its container or what ever its in. that simple
Like gas then [ Oxygen for example].
Well by that definition glass is definitely not a liquid as i can put a block of glass in a box and it definitely wont reform to the shape of the Box's interior [ Unless its been melted and is being pressed into shape but thats hardly moving freely ].

your wrong hyperion it will but it will take a very long time. lets say you put a few shards of glass it a cup and a 1000 years later it will have taken the shape of the cup.
Provide your own facts if you can. Ive already done so.

and you can't melt glass because its already a liquid. its just seems like its melting becuase when you increase the temp the viscosity decreases so when that happens the atoms are now moving more freely and it flows more freely and when the temp decreases the viscosity increases and it gets thicker.
yes it will hyperion and i will in a 1000 years i will prove it because in a 1000 someone will find that cup and it will be proven
Then re-read my first post as it says all you need to know there. As to your side of the 'Debate' I've yet to see you post any Facts and i know you haven't because you cant as its a load of nonsense.

thank you i agree with suttonian and see the op next to my name hyperion, that meens i started this thread and i will finish it........wright
at the very beginning of this whole thing is a article hyperion and the website. i told every one this a 10000000000 times.
