All we need now is a warp drive, transporter, and a breeding pair of whales and we’re in business, Captain.

Optically transparent from the near ultra violet to the near infrared wavelength (0.25 to 4.6 microns)

A micron isn't much.

added advantages of an isotropic cubic crystal structure

I have to confess that I don't know what those advantages are.

I just want to know if it is strong enough to hold a couple of hump back whales and 50,000 cubic feet of water.

“...and transparency in the face of world’s most demanding environments.”

If it has structural strength, then it would be unnecessary to frame around windows. Whole walls could be built of the stuff, with the “glass” being a load-bearing element.

Think of what that could mean for skyscrapers, let alone residential properties.

ALON® is an ideal material for applications requiring high strength light-weight durability and transparency in the face of world's most demanding environments.

So "glass" can now be a structural component. Kewl.
