well, I am sure most of the readers of this forum would agree with me that glass in not a liquid. for the ones who don't ->
solids used to be defined as highly organized crystals.
since glass is not a highly organized crystal it has been referred to being a supercooled liquid that is still melting...
nowadays there are amorphous solids, where the molecules of these solids are not highly organized, but are fixed in place like any crystalline solid, but in a more or less random arrangement...
that is the case with glass, its structure does not exhibit long-range order.
what I am sayin is, why is anything referred to as having an 'original' solid or liquid state anyways?
since all solid matter will eventually spread out into gas when its heat energy is high, and vise versa when its heat energy is low(becoming a solid), why isn't this just looked at as a linear scale that doesn't define anything as a solid, or as a liquid, or as a gas...?
it doesn't make sense to me that things are referred to as liquid or solid... after all, isn't it based on the heat energy it contains at the time? it is all just matter, and they are in the state they are in because of our bioatmosphere, based on the relationship they have with heat energy...
in some east ass corner of the universe what we know as iron could be some liquidy blob because of the high concentration of heat energy in that area...
i guess it makes sense to some extent seeing as the Earth's temperature is seen to be in a state of balance and equilibrium compared to the masses of chaos that linger in our universe...
but it seems to me, if we are ever going to understand the universe better, a lot of the specific behaviours we see in things must be analyzed to find similarities and relationships-> such as nothing having a set liquid or solid state, because this is directly in contract to the amount of heat energy it contains...
so defining it as a solid because of the state it takes because of the temperature of our plant in my opinion isn't efficient...
take it easy on me guys, try not to make a fool outta me ;)
a quick question before i am proven wrong:
can all gases reach a heat energy level so low that it becomes liquid, and then solid? and if there are some that cannot, do these gase molecules just cease to vibrate? and wouldn't the ceasing of the vibration in itself be considered a valid phase change from gas to solid? am i missing something? -_-;;
and i think that it is near impossible to completely stop the vibration of a molecule, but i am unsure and don't remember right now.
btw, i would like some feedback from intelectuals on my script work with flash.
