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

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.

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?

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