Where did the drops of water come from?
The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.
Why does moisture gather outside of a glass of cold water on a warm day?
The cold glass cools the air close to the outside of the glass and causes the moisture in the air to condense on the outside of the glass when the molecules in the air come close enough together to touch one another..
What volcano does obsidian come from?
Obsidian is a felsic glass. At depth, it will crystallize to form granite. On the other hand it turns into perlite on reacting with water. At high grade it recrystallizes to form felsic glass.
Can glass float on water?
Yes, glass can absorb water. Irving Friedman and others showed that Obsidian (volcanic glass) absorbs water very slowly, and the amount of water it has absorbed can be used to date the age of a fresh cut in this type of glass. The rate of absorption of water depends on a number of factors, including the silica content of the glass (SiO2), the amount of water already absorbed, and the temperature. These factors are not necessarily the only ones affecting this process, but my current work (the amount of water absorbed by volcanic glass from New Zealand) has not yielded answers yet as to the other factors. A ballpark estimate for rate of hydration would come from using diffusion rates of around 1-10 micrometers squared per 1000 years, as suggested by Friedman et al. (1993a)
Does pure water form bubbles on the inside of glass like tap water?
It can . . . bubbles come from oxygen that is dissolved in the water. Pureness has little to do with it, unless the pure water has simply not been shaken up so as to dissolve oxygen into it.

Why does the cholesterol in the gallbladder harden and form gallstones?
Simply put, when the concentration of the cholesterol reaches a point where it can dissolve in the bile it will come out and harden, much like pouring sugar into a glass of water until it starts to collect at the bottom of the glass.
