In the report, workmen where collecting large quartz stones in a dried river bed for use in glassmaking. While showing some pictures of beautiful bottles a brilliant flash occurred and I saw delicate drops of water forming on the inside of these beautiful glass vessels as the sunlight angled through them. Could it be that diffuse hydrogen from sunlight was knocking loose free oxygen radicals from the walls of glass(SiO2)? ----------------------------
Isnīt that normally what all mortals will call simply "water condensation" formed when you have a closed environment and water vapour cannot simply go out and will condense in the generally cooler walls of the container ? Jose
