Remember: Glass is not a solid, it's a ridgid liquid.
(it still flows -just very slowly  )
If you keep your glasses long enough they will turn into saucers.

They are s..l..o..w..l..y.. dripping I believe that the incidence of panes that are thicker at the bottom has never been shown to be statistically significant. That is, there are just as many panes that are thicker in other parts. There is also ancient glass that, by what you are suggesting, should just be flat "puddles", but that still holds its shape. Now, on a very large scale (telescope lenses and mirrors), there is deformation that occurs beyond a certain size. That is one of the limitations of optics on earth. |

The reason older glass is thicker is because it was handspun oorrolled by hand. Now they form it in molten tin which is denser than glass to make it uniform. Yep, to expound on that... Before the float process was standardized they used a number of methods to take a glob of glass and turn it into a sheet of glass. The common theme to all these methods was mechanically stretching the glass from glob to plate. When you mechanically stretch anything it doesn't make a perfectly flat sheet. (Reference your preschool years and flattening the Playdoh™.) So the old dead folks, not being dumbasses, decided that like the Egyptions with the pyramids the thick end goes down and the thin end goes up in the window frame. |

sheet glass used to be blown into giant bottles that were sectioned and flattened
In this manufacturing process glass is blown into a cylindrical iron mould. The ends are cut off and a cut is made down the side of the cylinder. The cut cylinder is then placed in an oven where the cylinder unrolls into a flat glass sheet. William J. Blenko used this method in the early 1900s to make stained glass. These imperfect panes have led to the misconception that glass is actually a high-viscosity fluid at room temperature, which is not the case. |

It makes logical sense that when assembling a large pane of glass the thicker part is placed on the bottom. Anyone who thinks glass is a slow moving liquid, or that old production glass is thicker on the bottom is due to dripping is 100% wrong. Please so some research. It's just not true. You are wrong. To the guy who said his wife is a ceramics engineer. Tell her to re-review her textbook. Glass is an amorphous solid. It doesn't have a crystalline or organized structure. It is absolutely not a slow flowing liquid. That is 100% wrong. ETA: it's scary that some or you guys get to vote. I have a baby on the way and I'm terrified at what BS she is going to learn in school by uneducated, barely passed their exams, teachers. |

Old glass manufacturing methods that produce glass with inconsistant thickness:
Crown Glass Clinder blown This one actually references the misconception we are battling. Broad Sheet Modern methods that produce glass as we know it today: Fourcault Process Still not as good as the float process but far better then previous methods. Float Glass Imperfect glass was the norm until the early 1900's and "perfect" glass as we know it today didn't come about until the '50's. No slumping, sagging or creep just imperfect manufactuing techniques. |
