Yes, but in a reassuringly self-restoring way. Polycarbonate the thickness you'd want for a table top is what they use in riot shields. It scratches a bit, it bends if you smack it or stand on it, but fundamentally it's going nowhere at the sort of forces a human in normal daily life will provide.

Depending on the thickness it might.

If you share how thick of polycarbonate you're thinking, I can do the calculation for you.

Edit: Responded to the link of your other comment with .25" thick PC
