THE SPINNING EGG
Here is a curious little trick with an unboiled egg.
Place the egg on its side on a plate and then, with a sharp tscist, Bat it spinning. When it has been spinning for a few moments bring the palm of your hand gently down on the egg and stop the movement. Lift your hand, and in a second or two, much to your surprise, the egg starts to re- valve once more.
The reason for this is that when you put your hand on the egg you only stop the movement of the shell. The liquid contents continue to awing round, and this is auth- cient to start the egg spinning. again.
