Almost every element, alloy, and substance in this universe bears some of its own interesting properties. But glass comes with some of its own features, there are some very amazing and interesting things about it that you wouldn’t have known. Check out the following points and see how many of these you knew already:
●While there are many who think that glass is an artificial substance, the fact is it is a natural substance. It is created by melting a few minerals at higher temperatures. Its main ingredient is silica, a types of sand, is blended with limestone and soda ash in a furnace at very high temperatures. There are several other minerals and materials that have been added for production of various shades.
●Apart from furnaces, glass can also be created by mother nature. Whenever silica gets struck by lightening it reaches a high temperature of some 1, 800 degrees where it melts and fuses some grains of sand to it leading to formation of glass. The whole process takes as less as 1-2 seconds.
●If you think glass has been a recent human creation, then you need to revise your history. It has been a part of human civilization from over five thousand years. The evidence for this fact was dug by Archeologists who found glasses from the civilizations around 4000 BC as coating over stone beads.
●There are many who consider glass as a heavy substance but the fact is the present day technology has ensured that it gets lighter than ever. The present version is 40 % lighter.
