I'm curious, when it comes to the question of whether eggs should float or sink, what's the scientific reasoning behind it? Is it a matter of the egg's freshness, or perhaps the temperature of the water? And how does this relate to the culinary world? Could knowing the answer help in determining the quality of eggs used in baking or cooking? I'm eager to learn more about this intriguing question and the factors that influence an egg's buoyancy.

The result of this test is straightforward: if the egg sinks to the bottom, it indicates that it is fresh.

Conversely, if the egg tilts upwards or even floats entirely, it signals that the egg is no longer fresh.

This phenomenon occurs due to the natural aging process of eggs, where the small air pocket inside gradually expands.

When conducting a float test to determine the freshness of an egg, one can simply place it in a bowl of water.

As the egg ages, water within the shell is released and replaced by air, causing the air pocket to grow larger.
