I think this myth is so pervasive it can be called an urban legend. As many of you know the "Glass Flows Myth" concerns the belief held by many that because glass is a "super cooled liquid" it actually has a degree of "flow" at temperatures you and I find comfortable. Those who believe this urban legend point to the fact that the windows in colonial homes and in old stained glass windows are thicker at the bottom than at the top. There was a time, in the dim dark past that, in my ignorance I believed in the myth of glass flow. What could I have been thinking? I mean doesn't it seem exciting to think that all the glass in the world is actually flowing as we speak. That the Rose Window will soon spill out of the confines of the lead cames that have held it in place all these years. Well, we can all sleep easy tonight.
