Extremely well done documentary. Using glass as a data storage medium is a stroke of genius and could ensure that digitized motion pictures and sound would be archived for centuries. Almost totally immune to temperature and moisture contamination, this medium would be ideal for very long time storage and retrieval of historic film and sound recordings. Thanks for posting!
I had a few float glass factories as clients that I visited regularly. Watching float glass go from sand, etc. to cut stacked sheets was fascinating. Although there no aluminum was allowed as if an aluminum can or even just a pull tab it would leave fish eyes in the final product.
I really did enjoy this video. I didn’t know that it took so much material to make glass, but I learned something new and it’s very fascinating. The way these products are made.
0:42 Sand, as it is found in nature, is NOT used in concrete. That particular sand is manufactured from rock. Sand in nature, is too rounded for use in concrete.

The video part was good, but the commentary, in several parts, was 'misguided' to say the least. It really needed someone with more knowledge of the subject to edit the commentary! (P.s. most of the world operates in celcius including most of the sensors visible in the documentary, so why change for the chat?)
I worked for nearly 30 years in the Float Glass industry. The terms used (for the industry I am familiar with) were correct. Although there was little explanation about where the terms came from or why they were used.
that's a documentary 🙌

Stanley was wondering where the narrator went, now he feels safer.
According to ‘some’ experts? Really? Which experts don’t think this?
Never answered "How are Sand Reserves Dwindling"
Ai loves ai
What is rioting glass
Wow my hands at 1:15 and my bff at 1:20
No cred dang
Those man hands are yours? stock video? there's no one at 1:20
I believe that the UN wouldn’t know shit from clay
lol, we are not running out of sand.
What's your source of that info?
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3nI think it’s called common sense.
@@Biggestfoot10209 How much sand is there on Earth and how long will it last? How much gets used every year? Let's see how much common sense you have.
I know right I got a shitload of sand in my yard they can come get me and make some glass😂😂😂😂

Good Question...Someone must answer this

Desert sand is too smooth for concrete manufacturing
It's much easier to etch data on glass than it is to thread magnetic cores!
_I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth_

What was misguided in it?
Global warming and now a sand shortage..goodness what are we to do
Enjoyable. However, narration sounds AI generated, which detracts greatly from presentation.
