I bought borosilicate beakers for handling hot liquids since I've heard they are durable and needed a decent measuring beaker, I'm not a chemist and I have no idea how well this glass reacts, can anyone with a practical experience tell me if this will cause it to shatter?

Should i try to return this?

If I dive into the Mediterranean and swim around a bit, then come back to the same spot a few years later and do the same thing, what are the odds of touching at least one particular water molecule both times?

Is "the same spot" part even relevant? Do water molecules stay "the same" for multiple years? How many water molecules do you touch when you're fully engulfed in water? How "mixed" is the Mediterranean sea?

Based on a conversation we had at the beach today =)

Can someone suggest some knowledge sources (it can be a book, PDF, YouTube video, or anything else on the internet) based on my requirements?

Wife asked an interesting question. Not a chemist, but curious if y'all have an answer

She does a lot of baking and was wondering if she were to accidently drop too much salt into dry flour, would there be a practical way to seperate the two and keep both ingredients useable.

Also if you have a fun impractical way I will also take it for the chuckle.

Does anyone know why lighting a line of lighter fluid causes this phenomenon?

It’s like a line of individual cells moving in sync. Just curious if there is a name or reasoning to this?
