Background on color glass condensate  

From Background on color glass condensate:

"Color" in the name "color glass condensate" refers to a type of charge that quarks and gluons carry as a result of the strong force. The word glass is borrowed from the term for silica and other materials that are disordered and act like solids on short time scales but liquids on long time scales.

Mr. DeJulio, you may find that Popular Science tells me that I am wrong, but the physicists tell me that I'm right. Glass does indeed flow! So there!
