Should eggs float or sink?

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.

How do governments float exchange rates?

Excuse me, could you elaborate on how governments go about floating exchange rates? I'm interested in understanding the mechanisms and strategies they employ to allow the market to determine the value of their currencies, as opposed to fixing them at a specific rate. Specifically, how do they manage to balance the need for stability with the benefits of market-driven fluctuations? And, are there any risks or challenges that governments need to consider when floating their exchange rates?
