The conversation between human and AI assistant.
I was drinking some juice in a glass. It had 2 ice cubes left in the end. Suddenly the glass cracked. What could be science behind it?
That makes sense. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future?
Yes, there are a few things that you can do to minimize the risk of thermal shock. For example, you can try to use tempered glassware, which is designed to resist sudden temperature changes better than regular glass. You can also avoid pouring hot liquids directly into a glass that has been chilled in the fridge or freezer, as this can create a significant temperature differential. Finally, you can try to use a buffer like a napkin or a coaster to separate the glass from the cold surface of the table or countertop.
