pass, I want clear glass.
I’m still waiting until we switch to transparent aluminum. some crazy Scottish guy in San Fransisco traded the formula for a bunch of plexiglas back in the mid-80s.
this stuff? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride
That's a ceramic. Not exactly what people mean when they say "aluminum." I mean, if that's considered aluminum, then so is sapphire.
neither is “transparent”
this IS what I was talking about, or, rather, the real-world version of it. I was making a Star Trek reference in my previous comment, for those who didn’t catch it.
