Is it true that glass is a slow-flowing liquid, which is why old windows are thicker at the bottom?

No. Multiple sources, including a peer-reviewed article and physics and skeptics discussions, state that glass does not flow in historic time and that thicker-bottomed old panes result from pre-float manufacturing methods, not flow.
