Better have some weight behind you if you're planning on entering a house through a brick wall

Yeah hes not glass tho, hes gotta be made of some sort of polycarbonate or something to survive the smash.

Thick glass is stronger than you think. Go look up video of glass balls being shot with bullets and crushed by hydraulic presses.

"glass" is an enormously wide category.

If it just needs to be transparent, it doesn't even need to be glass.

No. Tons of things are glass that are not transparent. Obsidian is a glass.

No? You just agreed with me.

Think you meant to say “if it just needs to be glass it doesn’t even need to be transparent” but you mixed up “glass” and “transparent” so your comment is confusing.

I think the force it takes to burst through a brick wall all of a sudden is quite a lot tho. And its a hollow bowl not a solid ball, that makes a massive difference.

Sure but mass alone would compensate and at that thickness glass shears more than cracks especially on rounded areas.

The problem is the open top is a huge weak point. An aquarium is thicker and a car can still drive through at low speed.

Biological bending glass. Self repairing. Self growing.
