Is it true? Spring Equinox is tomorrow, March 20. That means, according to all the sources that be (I checked), the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator.

The theory behind the egg-balancing-act goes something like this “because the earth is vertical, an egg should be able to balance straight up on the skinny end, rather than the middle”.

Can you check, and get back to me on this? At least for me, it was a great way to get the kids to bed tonight. “When you wake up in the morning, we can be scientists and test a theory!!”

Report back in the morning. Better yet, have your kids report back. I’d love to hear from them.
