	Glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glass appears colorless to the naked eye when it is thin, though it can be seen to be green when it is thick, or with the aid of scientific instruments.
		Glass threads were wound around a bag of sand tied to a rod and the glass was continually reheated to fuse the threads together.
		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 [1].

	Philip Glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glass is extremely prolific as a composer; he has written ensemble works, operas, symphonies, concertos, film scores and for the piano.
		Glass was born in Baltimore, Maryland as the son of Jewish migrants from Lithuania.
		Glass described his Symphony No.2 as a study in polytonality and referred to the music of Honegger, Milhaud and Villa-Lobos as possible models for his symphony, but the gloomy, brooding, dissonant tone of the piece seems to be even more evocative of Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonies.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Stained Glass
		As glass at that time was to be had only in small pieces, the glazier was compelled, in order to fill the window-openings, to make his lights a mosaic, that is a combination of pieces of glass of various sizes and colours worked to a given design by placing them in juxtaposition.
		These pieces of glass had to be kept in place by some other material, and the best medium for the purpose was found to be lead, applied in strips made with lateral grooves for the reception of the edges of the glass.
		The glass composing it is very beautiful, more particularly the browns, which are rich in tone, the rubies, which are brilliant, streaked and studded with gemlike blobs of fl, and the blues, which are of a greenish azure hue, while the general colour treatment is extremely oriental.

	Is glass liquid or solid?
		It is sometimes said that glass in very old churches is thicker at the bottom than at the top because glass is a liquid, and so over several centuries it has flowed towards the bottom.
		Glass can be made from pure silica, but fused silica has a high glass transition point at around 1200° C which makes it difficult to mould into panes or bottles.
		Glass such as Pyrex (used for test-tubes and ovenware) is usually based on boro-silicates or alumino-silicates, which withstand heating better and typically have a higher glass transition temperature.

	C&EN: WHAT'S THAT STUFF? GLASS
		The glass in fiber-optic cables is made of pure silica because its high transparency speeds the transmission of photonic signals.
		In nature, glass is formed when sand or rocks melt and cool quickly, such as when lightening strikes sand dunes creating fulgurites, or when volcanoes spew lava forming obsidian.
		Borosilicate glass is most often used in bakeware (commonly marketed as Pyrex) and laboratory equipment because it expands less during heating, making it less likely to shatter when exposed to rapid temperature changes.
