Have you ever got lost on google or wikipedia? You got there to find out something and 2 hours later you were still on it but you got so side tracked reading interesting stuff you forgot why you were there in the first place? That is exactly why I'm starting this brand new series on linked SSS (Short Sexy Subjects) we knew once and we forgot about, as well of SSS (Super Sexy Science) facts.
Well here is my chance to try to make you forget about work and stuff and get lost right here on SSS :)
Fresh eggs sink in fresh water while rotten eggs float.
As time goes, water vapours and gases escape from the porous egg shell. This makes the egg to decompose and the yolk to shrink, making the air pocket grow bigger. This new free space is filled by more and more ambiant air that filters in.

The more air it contains, the more it floats.
So a fresh egg will completely sink at the bottom of a bowl of fresh water (no salt added like when you're cooking - here is why). As the days go by, the egg will start tilting on its small angle with its wide angle (where the air pocket is) floating. When the egg becomes stale, the air pocket is so important it will make the egg floats.
Here you go, SSS readers, to illustrate this first SSS Did you Know,
I found you a cool video:
