    The glass transition exhibits a huge increase in relaxation time, leading many to expect that in parallel there should be a large increase in some static length scale. Nevertheless finding what IS that length scale remained an open problem for a long time.
    In this talk I will propose such a length scale, explain the physics behind it and show that it fits the bill.
