New experiments show eggs are less likely to crack when they fall on their side. It’s commonly thought that eggs are strongest at their ends because the arc-shaped bottom redirects the force of the impact and softens the blow. But when scientists ran simulations and dropped nearly 200 eggs horizontally and vertically from three short heights, eggs broke less when they landed on their side. Scientists discovered that the egg’s equator was more flexible and absorbed more of the energy of the fall before cracking. The new research was published Thursday in the journal Communications Physics.
