When I was a course 3 undergrad in the seventies, the only mention of glass was Bernie Weunsch saying that an uncrystalized material was about as interesting as an uncooked pie of meat. I love sushi, the Korean raw beef, and I went to work for Corning.

I think there is a problem in the question @5.20, it says cooled to T1 >Tm, but I believe it should say they are cooled from T1>Tm or heated to T1>Tm

This does matter; it matters to a philosopher and an environmentalist as well. We recycle but it is also true we should consider recyling for other reasons .
