The physics of a glass shattering is very much different from a glass exploding. An explosion involves shards of glass being hurled distances, which is to say a lot of energy is expended.
So the question really is was it a shattering, or an explosion?
How far was glass thrown?
How much of the glass was thrown?
For example vibrations may shatter a glass but the will not break a drinking glass into 20 pieces and throw half the pieces ten feet in every direction.
When I have experienced glass exploding in a metaphysical way which is to say being thrown distances in little pieces with no apparent mechanical energy performing the action. There was intense emotional energy involved in the experience.
So one more question, was there intense emotional energy involved in the scenario?
Was someone under some threat? The redirection of energy can be a defense. Like using Judo on an attacker, a small amount of energy can overcome a larger attack by redirecting it to fulfill it's general destructive intent by destroying the glass.
Believe me, if you witnessed a metaphysical event you would know that it was not simply a glass falling over because it is unbalanced, or cracking because it vibrated.
My first experience of this was an extremely heavy ashtray which weighted about five pounds and was several inches thick. It was not being used. It split in half with a report like a gunshot throwing the two halves about a half a foot apart. That event ended a domestic dispute. It happened at the moment of what you might call a psychic scream from a bystander caught in the middle. When these things happen, people seem to intuit who did it.
I have had the experience three times in my life, in different locations many years apart. How often do you think the average person experiences a magic frequency shattering glass silently?
Do you comprehend that even with extemely high powered audio equipment inches away and carefully aligned and tuned, it is very difficult to shatter glass. Usually that trick involves extremely fine crystal, due to it's thinness and rigidity. Ordinary glass is not crystaline, it is actually a liquid.

I once had a glass shower door explode. There was no other broken glass, not the other shower door or the bathroom window or the mirrors....just that one glass door exploded. I noticed that it was vibrating and I could actually hear it too! To this day I still dont know why it happened.
