To know whether an egg is raw or boiled, simply spin the egg on its side, put a finger on top of it gently to stop it, then let the finger go.

A raw egg continues to spin because of the inertia of the liquid yolk still spinning within the shell.

Philosophy

In The Beginning…

Posted on 12/12/201011/02/2019 by Jinavie

There was nothing.

In the beginning, nothing existed.
No light scattered the darkness,
No sound broke the silence.

Everywhere is filled with air.
It was a time when the first force, the force of neutrality, ruled.
But the air dreamt to be something more.

At that moment, a white egg appeared in the middle of the infinite universe.
It was a universe egg full of everything possible and all hope.
The egg began to crack.

The universe egg exploded.
It happened at 00:00:00, 00/00/00.
By the second force, the force of disassembling,
The shell that enclosed the egg of origin broke into 288 pieces.

Light and heat exploded out from the egg,
A giant dust storm spread into the darkness as glittery powder.

A universe was born.
Time began to flow, and as the molecules travelled farther,
They danced to the symphony of time.
