A Bad Egg

Random question for the day.

Do you know how to tell if an egg is bad (without cracking it open)?

There is a small air pocket in the large end of the egg. When the egg is fresh, the pocket is only about 1/8th of an inch deep and as large around as a dime.

As the egg ages, however, it loses both moisture and carbon dioxide — shrinking — so that the size of the air space increases. And the size of the air space determines the buoyancy of the egg.

~So if you submerge a very fresh egg in water, it will lie on the bottom.

-

~An egg that is a week or so old will lie on the bottom but bob slightly.

-

~An egg that is three weeks or so old will balance on its small end, with the large end reaching for the sky.

-

~And a bad egg will float.
