Why did glass inspire Thomas Edison to make the light bulb?

Answer 1

Thomas did NOT make the light bulb. He made a safer impression of it.

Answer 2

Thomas Edison was inspired by the durability and transparency of glass when he saw a glass vacuum tube used in experiments with electric lighting. He realized that a filament inside a glass bulb could produce light without combustion, ultimately leading to the invention of the practical incandescent light bulb.
