How is glass a liquid, if it looks and feels like a solid?

Asked by shego (11093points) April 15th, 2011 from iPhone

I was watching a show that was making glass, and I’m a little confused as to how it’s still a liquid. I know the silica sand is super heated to turn into a unstable property, and that’s where the additives come in. But once it’s cooled, how is it still a liquid?
