I always wondered about the glass being liquid or solid question so one day I looked it up in google and got this.

Another day (today and some years later) I looked it up again and go the same page. kinda neat.

That's interesting - glasses as substances that are categorially neither quite solids nor liquids. Thanks for that. Still getting my head around it.

I remember reading once how so much of the world has been deforested as a result of the discovery of glass, and the need to burn lots of wood to make it. I heard that put forward as an explanation for the desertification of Arabia and northern Africa.

Downloading right now, thanks for the heads up.

I watched the elegant universe...its very very dumbed down, while at the same time the information trying to be put across is very difficult to comprehend.

Also of the 3 parts (i think it was 3 parts)..its very very repetative. I think they could have done it in 1 episode...

whats the name of the "cafe" in which the character of the movie are hanging about?

The Quantum Cafe where the normal rules of physics don't apply. I agree with you on the dumbed down and repetetiveness. I think they tried to gear it as much to the masses as possible. I still loved it though.
