Flexibility! Glass Fiber can dissipate energy along the fiber, normal glass does not have a structure to dissipate the energy in an even form and proves easier to crack as a result. Similarly the lifting ropes of cranes are actually coiled metal fibres and not solid chain link, the metal fibres dissipate the weight better than the chain.

first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
What is the difference between Tempered Glass and Annealed Glass and which one is better?
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass.
