Se comenta en una lista de correo (sobre dinosaurios, by the way) que probablemente el vidrio sin fundir no sea un "líquido que fluye lentamente", como se oye o se lee muchas veces. Abajo copio el párrafo sacado de dicha lista ¿qué opináis?
_______________________ [Graydon] There are, indeed, church windows where the glass is thicker at the bottom than the top. Since there are also windows of similar age where the glass is thicker at the top than the bottom, and windows where the thickness of the glass has no discernible vertical orientation, it's regarded as most parsimonious to consider the variations in glass thickness as a function of the available manufacturing techniques, which could not produce glass of consistent thickness, rather than in-situ changes due to behaviour under gravitational stress over time.
