[QUOTE="phinds, post: 5736019, member: 310841"] Not true. They break pretty easily in accelerators One problem is the layer of air that you have in the gap. The atoms/molecules don't quite match up. Another is that you are not going to get perfect alignment when you try to put two pieces back together. When you reheat and melt the pieces back together, you are NOT reattaching the original connections, you are making the molecular bonds plastic and getting a whole new set of connections when the glass goes back to a solid state.
