Float glass sheets are a fundamental product in the glass manufacturing industry, recognized for their clarity, versatility, and strength. The process of creating float glass was developed in the mid-20th century and revolutionized glass production by introducing a technique that yields sheets of glass with unmatched flatness and optical quality. This article delves into the properties, production process, and various applications of float glass sheets.

We use glass to tell our personal truths, but we can also use it to create false narratives. I wouldn't have been able to vaccinate without glass bottles, but we wouldn't have seen the rapid spread of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories without glass screens in our pockets. Without glass tubes, German glassblower Heinrich Geisler would not have been able to observe cathode rays, Ernest Rutherford would not have been able to discover the energy contained in atomic nuclei, and we would not have nuclear reactors or atomic bombs. We would not have known that when the atomic bomb exploded, it had the power to turn sand into glass, forming star-shaped shards that littered the blast site and remained undiscovered until decades later. Maybe our beliefs won't be so uncertain, so unstable.
