Yea very good now you go off to your skateboarding. After-all you have shown you don't need school with that TOWERING intellect. And that article you put in your Opening post is Dubious at best.
I don't think i need to wast my time anymore in this topic as it doesnt seem to be going anywhere.
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
edit: Even the wikipedia article you quoted shows it is questionable:
"Glass is generally treated as an amorphous solid rather than a liquid, though different views can be justified since characterizing glass as either 'solid' or 'liquid' is not an entirely straightforward matter."
why do you have to bring me down like that whats your problem. okay how about this "glass is a solid." does that make you happy. do you want to be immature (how every you spell that.) about and just go on about it. cuz i'm not going to be like that. yuor right i;m wrong you happy now i'm going to drop it.
Ok now that we have your definition of liquid..........can you please take a large sheet of glass and pour it in a bottle of Pepsi?
Oh and i don't have a million years time....I mean now.
Tell me the results of this experiment.........
well it does now have a low enough viscosity to move more freely like water . what about sap do you agree with me that sap from a tree is a liquid could you poor sap into a pepsi bottle. explain your results.
actually yea i can, the maple syrup in my fridge is proof
sap as in natural sap any sap besides myple syrup okay and thats not the point
dry sap is still a liquid you can move it around but you can't poor dry sap into a bottle
no dry sap is a solid just like jello or gello or jelatin or gelatin it shakes and is mushy but its still a solid.
Just drop it please. i don't care any more about this argument just forget about it will ya.
are you kidding me i did drop it and i did finally tell hyperion that he was right and i was wrong you is with you guys.
fine
Glass while appearing in solid form does have liquid tendancies. You heat it it will melt just like a candle or ice etc.
So while it may start out a liquid and become a solid i dont think anyone can say for sure that it is one or the other, i think its a safer bet to say it can be both.
Glass isn't a fluid. In a solid stress is proportional to strain. In a fluid, stress is proportional to strain rate.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out which one glass is. Its just a solid with certain liquid-like properties. More technically, its an amorphous solid, as opposed to a crystalline solid.
So no, glass isn't a fluid.

This has got to be the worst argument that ever got past the first page without being locked.
Skimmed. Saw a link from a sketchy, unknown source. Then I walked into the living room, pulled up the blinds, and touched the glass. To my amazement my hand was not wet, my hand didnt go through the glass, and the glass was not phased by me touching it.
But doesn't LCD stand for Liquid Crystal Display? Your hand can't go through that either
That example of knocking a liquid over and still have time to catch it is a horrible example.. Viscosity is not the defiance of gravity, viscosity is how smoothly it flows, if I know a liquid over then it is obviously going to fall because of gravity, it isn't just going to hang there slowly falling.

This thread was making me laugh, but this just pushed it over to the sad point. Please, tell me you are joking. Please. For the sake of humanity, please tell me this isn't the breadth of knowledge the younger generation possesses. If it is, well, then humans had a decent run.
It's not one person. It is actually an emerging pattern.
Summarizing the reason for the decline in the human capacity to reason is a bit difficult to explain. On one hand you have a degradation of education. On the other you have social degradations leading to a rather self interested, under achieving and eventually self destructive mannerism. The question is why? Personally Id dare say its just naturally what happens to a society or even a species when enough time has passed and there initial patterns start to need some reconfiguring. Who am I to say. I am one of the uneducated masses.
Yes, but don't you understand that this is exactly the point, which is once the sap dried out it becomes solid, it s not liquid anymore, because you cannot pour it.
Scientific definition of what is solid or liquid is different from what is the common definition.
Who cares if science says that a glass is liquid, it won't change anything in my life since practically I cannot do anything i do with other liquids.
Whatever science says I believe they should change their definition of "liquid" with something more appropriate like "liquoid material" or shit like that, and leave the normal definition for every day usage, in order to avoid confusion.
So until i ll be able to pour a large piece of glass into a narrow container, like i do with water, that would be classified as solid..........by me and anyone except the egomaniac that found out that the glass is tecnically a liquid.

IT ANSWERS EVERYTHING GLASS IS NOT A LIQUID IT IS AN AMORPHOUS SOLID!!!

I'm sorry guys this is probably the most annoying, stupid, time wasting, and useless etc thread ever one mmorpg. and i will probably not post anything any more
