In some branches of physics one can observe a surplus of theoretical models coexisting with the dramatic lack of experimental data. The physics of glass is in an opposite situation: the enormous and rich variety of experimental results goes along with an absence of a consistent theory. We rely, in this domain, on some hints or analogies, no more. Somehow the two natural paths which should lead to the theory of glass, namely the theory of liquids and the solid state physics (up to now almost a synonym for the theory of the crystalline state) both come to a dead end or a kind of a no man’s land before penetrating into the territory on which the theory of glass should be found.
