But there are other silicates at that point that do the same job better and cheaper. But yes.depends on how the glass is made, it can be quite durable, theoretically reaching 17 gigapascals.
People are misunderstanding what glass is. Glass is a type of ceramic. There are plenty of clear ceramics that function like glass and are optically superior or indistinguishable from window glass.depends on how the glass is made, it can be quite durable, theoretically reaching 17 gigapascals.
Sorry, just that I have my nerderecton raging. But our sun doesn't have enough mass to go supernova. At least at this point. But, in 2 billion years, when we enter Andromeda's sweet dusty regions, there's no telling what will happen. We could end up as a throbbing pulsar or even a gigantic black hole. Or blasted all over by high energy particles. I can see why Elon musk wants to get there.We're talking about billions of years, who cares? We'll all be dead and gone (not just us, human civilization), the sun would have supernova'd, everything will be dust (including this glass CD).
Yes but your point was that glass is all brittle, it is not.But there are other silicates at that point that do the same job better and cheaper. But yes.
Un-doped YAG yes but the rest usually isn't as the doped stuff can have some pretty colours in large boules. Rarest one I've held was cerium doped, just the end bit was ~20k usd haha, fluro yellowy colour with the slightest light on it, thanks to one of the FLIR ladsPeople are misunderstanding what glass is.

Spinel or YAG come to mind. More expensive of course but if you need clarity and strength... Hell, there is a metallic glass floating around that gives steel a run for its money.
If you don't care about absolute optical clarity glass is stunningly strong to anything a human hand could do to it. The glass used in this case is actually a glass fiber rather than the strange solid/liquid of your window glass.
Well thats possible then. But remember this same system of science and its models said only 2 weeks to end covid 2 years ago and yet.... science.From the page I linked to:
I don't know how they define "melted", but it's plausible that data stored on glass could be retrieved after billions of years.
