Excerpt from Chris Reiter to preface my question: "Finally, to my knowledge, there are no substances that do not freeze. You could make a good argument that glasses do not freeze, but this is again the exception that proves the rule. Glasses, in the simplest sense, are fluids that have cooled so fast that they have not had the chance to crystallize. I don’t know if there exists any experimental evidence to back me up, but theoretically, if given the time (like 50 bazillion years), glasses will eventually crystallize and “freeze.”" -My question: Say you took a blob of hot liquid glass and put it immediately into a zero K chamber, would the glass explode, implode, or crystallize and fall as sand like particles>?
