No, it’s just assholes being assholes that are making it like Reddit…
I didn’t post nonsense. If you honestly think that you would explain to a child that glass is a solid and just leave it at that then you’re touched. Leave me alone for real.
Better than telling them incorrectly that it is a liquid.
Chemistry is a series of models approximating how the universe truly behaves. In the model of states of matter, glass is a solid, not a liquid or gas.
As the child learns more, they will learn that this original model was incomplete (but not wrong), and the universe has many more wonders. They’ll learn about non-neutonian fluids like “ooblek” that flow like liquids, but act like solids when force is applied, and amorphous solids with glass transitions instead of phase changes, about how water is one of the rare chemicals where the solid is less dense than its liquid form, and how cool that is, about crystalline structures and the discovery of the structure of DNA, about how plasma is a 4th stage of matter, beyond solid, liquid, and gas, about the role pressure and temperature plays in state transitions, and how materials may have many different types of solids possible at different temperatures and pressures, like carbon, about how neutron stars exist and are their own type of matter, about how black holes are weird, matter and energy are fundamentally interchangeable, etc etc etc.
You said “Glass is not a true solid” and “If you honestly think that you would explain to a child that glass is a solid and just leave it at that then you’re touched. Leave me alone for real.”
Honestly I’m not sure what you get out of not accepting that glass is solid. Not sure why you keep replying.
“Tell me something I’m already going to dismiss.”
No. Now go away.
Alright, just don’t go saying shit like “Boohoo this place is just like Reddit” when you post nonsense and get down voted for it.

When did I say it was a liquid?

You didn’t answer my question.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree about glass.
