MIT researchers test whether eggs break more easily on their side
Original: MIT researchers tested whether eggs break more easily…
Researchers at MIT tested a long-debated kitchen question: whether eggs are more likely to crack when struck on their side or on their end. The experiment put the common cooking assumption to a physical test, drawing attention online as people compared the findings with their own experience cracking eggs at home.
Why now: It is a surprising, lighthearted piece of science that settles a everyday debate many people have wondered about.
