Liquids and glasses relax, too -- but not like you thought

What do they mean, not like you thought? I have always said that's how liquids move around. Without pull forces, the only way to move around is into the area of least resistance. So I always use that method, because my theory has no pull forces.

They're really making big jumps, and in glasses, those big jumps are essentially the only way that molecules can move around. Everybody else is completely stuck.
"It's kind of like a 15 puzzle. You can only move one at a time."
What happens is a molecule next to a region that's more loosely packed can move there, and does. Then one that was next to it suddenly has room to move, and does, and so on.
