    What an awesome documentary. This was really interesting and so informative. I am blown away now by realizing how important glass is and has been in our human development. I am astounded now when I think about all the things we couldn't do or have without it.

    Makes me feel old. I remember before color tv. I was in the military before communication satellites.

    Beloved glass. The simplicity of its charms is missed here - oh yes, the cosmos is revealed supposedly endlessly, better and better, but far more important are its beauties, its ability to amplify illusions, its textures, its deal with the soul. The appeal of glass is its ability to share invisibility with clarity in our own experience. Its translucence, its infinite (and not) abilities. The simple glint off a facet can turn the mind and heart. Ah well. The cosmos dazzles, and we happily look for something greater than the mirror-ball, or a crystal, or Chartres. Be well in your lit searches.

    Give some of that foldable glass to origami guys. No telling what a phone or computer screen will end up looking like.

    You failed to mention that ancient Greeks used glass lenses (katoptron,dioptron) to conduct astronomical observations. It does not start with Galileo..

      This just jumps around and doesn't go into enough detail, they don't even tell you the date of the oldest vessel when they show it at the start.
      I found it very frustrating, so many banal information without enough facts.

    I'd like to see unbreakable glass. I don't mean laminated where the shards are still stuck to the plastic layer. I know nothing is truly unbreakable. I don't like glass just because of its fragility. Get rid of that and you've a wonderful material

      It’s impossible to cram all new knowledge and aspects into one show. That said, they’ve included a lot of info here!

    5:47 field diagram looks more like soccer than football. Soccer fields are between 75 and 100 yards in width whilst American football fields are 53 and a third yards. So this gives a professional soccer field quite a considerable greater surface area than a regulation American football field.

      I guess the part where they talked about glass making in Sumeria, Egypt, Venice, Gothic cathedrals, etc don't count

    Why not use English? It has a rich past tense... 'It was. Do we need an orchestra? Can't listen to the music. Can't concentrate on the narrative.

    The video was going along just fine until the girl with the boy haircut said they took the glass to the moon. It's well known and proven nobody ever went to the moon. Aldrin and Armstrong admitted this several times on mainstream TV 😮

    • @joemag6032
      @joemag6032 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You did not read the Armstrong and Aldrin statements carefully. They simply stated that they did not "moon" Michael Collins while they were on the moon.
