If you are referring to the co-founder of Twitter, we do not know for certain. Many people assume he must be, since his name sounds Jewish, but names can be deceiving; also, a person may have a Jewish father but not have been raised Jewish. Mr. Glass has not spoken publicly about what religion he practices, if any.
Yes, CN Tower in Toronto does have sections with implemented glass floor.
The glass of juice will be affected by gravity, and will fall to the floor. Depending on the material and shape of the glass, as well as the hardness of the floor, the glass may or may not break. In practice, it is likely that the juice will be spilled on the floor.
This custom occurs at a Jewish wedding, signifying that we shouldn't get too carried away in the celebrations (Tosfot commentary, Talmud Berakhot 31a).
Its called the breaking of the glass.
Breaking a glass at a Jewish wedding is not signifying a happy event. We break a glass to be reminded that we lost the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. It is a reminder that no matter how happy we are now and how happy this day may be, our happiness can never be complete without the Temple that "housed" the most important relationship of all, that between us and G-d.It is appropriate to say nothing. Some people cry at this point (genuine tears). Although many say Mazal tov, it is NOT appropriate to do so. The couple is no more married after the glass is broken than before it was broken. The time to say Mazal tov is after the groom puts the ring on the bride's finger, that is the time at which they are married.Improve answerRead more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What do Jewish people say at a wedding#ixzz2F9ypzAqA

It is the force exerted within the glass when it hits the floor that breaks it. If the glass falls on a hard floor like concrete then the force is very big because the floor has no "give." Effectively the bit of the glass that hits the floor stops instantly but the rest of the glass following behind is still moving. The force within the glass is bigger than the tensile strength of the material and so it fails. If the glass falls on a carpet then the carpet has some "give." The glass slows down over a few millimeters by squashing the carpet. This massively reduces the forces within the glass and gives it a fighting chance of staying in one piece.
All will hit the floor at the same time.
It is about 5 inches ^^
