Proposal of the world’s thinnest aquarium in the world, using thin-film glass with a thickness of 0.1 mm.

When one understands the structural characteristics of the thin glass, a paradise for children is born. Glass flexibility is inversely proportional to its thickness, so, the thicker the glass plate, the more rigid it will be. A glass panel as thick as a sheet, will thus have an incredible flexibility, bending smoothly. When the glass film is placed over the water, the pressure from the loads of the people and the water force will balance, avoiding the glass to break, redistributing the weight.
