@ 2:00 "This means it actually flows very slowly, explaining why stained glass windows are thicker at the bottom".
This is not true and actually a "science myth" by itself! Science myth inception!

#3 glass is actually a a type of liquid:
"The molecules of glasses do not crystallize. The movement of the glass molecules slows as temperature cools, but they never lock into crystal patterns. Instead, they jumble up and gradually become glassier, or more viscous. No one understands exactly why."

#8 Glass can indeed be perceived as a liquid. I'm in no way arguing against that! I'm sorry if it came out that way to you. I should have been clearer in my wording.
What I tried to say was that old windows that are thicker at the bottom is so not because glass is a liquid but because of the way glass panels were made back in the day.
I don't think we disagree.

Myth 6: shooting gas tanks will blow up a car - this is only true in films.
That one is not entirely true... it's true that it aint possible to do the 1 shot then explode, as in reality it will take multiple shots before it's possible to get the explosion.
Can't recall if it was Mythbbusters who tested that theory.
