In 1971, after the earthquake in southern California, we took a geology
"field trip" to a new housing development that was right over the
epicenter. I was most struck by the sliding glass doors. They had been
"warped" by the quake, so that your reflection looked like a reflection in
a fun-house mirror (wavy and distorted), and yet they did not break. Can
viscosity alone explain that?
