When you put a glass of cold water on a glass table, the condensation forms 
a ring of water on the table where the base of the glass was sitting. But 
it also forms a ring at the same place, only on the underside of the table. 
I was wondering what causes the ring of moisture to go through the glass 
and end up on the other side. Thank you.
