Spring Equinox Experiment

On the equinoxes (approx. March 20 and September 22) the amount of day and night are of equal length--approximately 12 hours each. There's a "balance" of light and dark at almost all locations on earth.

But some people believe that there is another kind of "balance" on the equinoxes, a special kind of force that will make a raw egg balance on its own end!

Do you think this is true?

Is there some sort of cosmic "balance" that makes eggs stand on their own on the equinoxes, but not on other days?

Is there a scientific way for you to test this?

We did this test for 2 weeks before the equinox and then balanced the same, raw egg on equinox.

Look what happened! It DID balance on the 20th! And it had not balanced before.

Now, we're going to balance the same egg for a few weeks after to see what happens.
