OP
There was one time, I was at a shopping centre. I heard a sound and the window of a nearby store suddenly cracked. I was not paying attention before I heard the sound but I did not see anything or anyone hit the glass. At that time I assumed that kinetic energy between the atoms (heat) in the glass caused the atoms to arrange themselves in some very unlikely formation which caused the crack to occur.
Assuming that the glass wasn't physically hit by something I didn't see, is this assumption reasonable? Are there any other reasonable explanations for this occurrence? Maybe my assumption while possible is so statistically unlikely that in practice it wont happen therefore I'm an idiot for not paying attention at the time.
