| Your professor was simply incorrect. Glass never was, and has never been, an "extremely viscous fluid". Molten glass is a "molecular liquid" where the viscosity depends on temperature.

− | <br>"Extremely viscous fluid" is just another way to describe an amorphous solid (as opposed to the crystallic solid). There is no sharp cut-off between these states. Just at some point it starts feeling solid enough, so it gets called a solid. See the Pitch Drop Experiment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment] for an example (though glass is obviously harder than pitch).

− | I had a chemistry professor in 2011 tell me that glass flowed, even citing old buildings with thicker glass on the bottom. I tried to argue against it, but I was interrupting a lecture. I discussed it with some students later, though. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.64|108.162.237.64]] 00:49, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
