Well, yeah Terry, but the glass particle 'has to?' slow down. Show the math with alg. again, not trig.

"Liquid" is such a fluid state that opinions are rampant about what constitutes what. Is frozen liquid solid, or just frozen liquid? Is the atmosphere gas or fluid? It does act like a fluid - but trying to redefine states of matter just boils down to a lot of hot air.
