Egg-speriment: How to Get an Egg in a Bottle

To get an egg into a bottle, you will need a small egg and a bottle with a mouth that is slightly smaller than the egg. Here is one way to do it:

• Light a candle and place it on a stable surface near the bottle.
• Hold the egg in one hand and the bottle in the other hand, with the mouth of the bottle facing upwards.
• Bring the egg close to the mouth of the bottle, making sure not to touch the sides of the bottle with the egg.
• Slowly move the egg closer to the candle flame. As the heat from the flame touches the egg, it will start to heat up and the air inside the egg will expand.
• As the air inside the egg expands, it will create a vacuum that will pull the egg into the bottle.
• Once the egg is inside the bottle, quickly extinguish the candle and seal the bottle with a tight-fitting cap or cork.

This trick works because the heat from the candle causes the air inside the egg to expand, creating a vacuum that sucks the egg into the bottle. The process happens very quickly, so it is important to be ready to cap the bottle as soon as the egg is inside to prevent the egg from falling out.

You may have seen the classic egg in a bottle experiment before, but this is a much better way to do it.
