I wish our faculties would have such a good proffesors.

I always thought glass is not a solid it's a slow moving liquid. but he's able to pull victory from the jaws of defeat.

it's MIT yet it can't escape the 280p plague, lol

[NevadaRevava339]

na wohne in leipzig

[pacrox2]

39:00 why would you skip this class

[KhawajaSlaDe]

My Chemistry Teacher Sucks. My physics teacher is okkk..

this guy is AWESOME.

Singapore!

[agapitoflores001]

Wow! This is a very intellectual video.

[bumb9]

I wish there'd be teachers like him in Spanish's universities.

@lambergino man chill it is available at the ocw.mit.edu

[lambergino]

I HATE HOW it says "See Lecture Notes for Details" .... wasn't MIT's whole pointof putting these videos on YouTube to make "education access free to the world" ?????

Wow...

@killermonster555 "Glass" in chemist-speak is "amorphous, no-long-term-repeating structure or pattern". It only serves as a moniker for "not a crystal".

Standard window glass that us lay-folk are familiar with is an *amorphous* solid comprised of silicon dioxide, sodium carbonate and a few other goodies. It's specifically designed to be transparent, but it doesn't have to be: eg. put chrome in normal glass and you get something that's completely black.

@killermonster555 He's saying that not all glass is transparent and a more accurate way of describing glass is to say that its molecular structure has no long range order. I think you can observe that too when glass breaks into with shapes don't have any uniform shape to them, just random cut edges. Suggesting no long range order at the atomic scale.
