Seismic Wave

Prerequisite: earth science

Car crashed about a month ago. "Crash" is an overstatement. "Bump" more like. Yet the impulse was enough to crush the little Toyota. It was a young car too, with a red number plate and not yet one week in possession.


The cracks are almost like the impact frozen in time. Most likely not many cracks are due to material foliation since glass is an amorphous solid. From what I heard, the car hood actually sprung up and smashed itself. Maybe the epicenter of the impact can be pinpointed with these rough circles, or that the effect of P and S waves are distinguishable?

What I am really driving at is that glass smashing might be something worth investigating. Not that I have the means of doing so. But where patterns are concerned, numbers can be introduced~

If you feel inspired to smash some glass, please feel free to do so. Be sure to tell me about it.

As of now we got the headlights repaired. But the spiderweb on the windshield is still there, held by tape.
