For centuries, people have believed that a slow-moving liquid goes down glass for hundreds of years. It has been discovered that the windows were uneven to begin with. The atoms and molecules in the glass are different from that of the liquid so it is puzzling how the two can be as hard as the other. One of the biggest mysteries is the theory of the nature of glass and the glass transition. After decades of research, scientists were able to discover that as molten glass cools, the molecules do not slow down uniformly. To this date, we still don't know how glass is made and what its relation to the liquid is.
This article is reflecting the Earth's history. It is always nice to hear about the research that has to do with things that have been around for centuries. In a decade or so, it is a possibility that there will be more information concerning this matter.
The article was written nicely. There could have been more details but the information that was given was nicely said. I was able to understand the point of the article and what it was trying to achieve.

2- keeps reader interested
3- not terribly confusing
1- more about liquid and glass relationship?
2- what methods of research?
1- i have learned that we still don't know what glass is really made of.
