Why isn't anyone talking about the guy who walked in the class

Because the perpendicular is aquated

[@Poopick]

Is ceramics like glass?

[@martinsoos]

It's soda an oxide.

[@khalideltayeb3429]

If glass isn't a liquid, then where is the discontinuity of the phase change?

[@babaroaboltazor5962]

As I understood it, you have the discontinuity in the case of a phase change to a crystalline solid but not in the case of amorphous solids.
