Cracked Eggs

You can find an animated version of these marvellous eggs on this Chinese Website among otherwise awful gif animations, God knows where they took it from. They dont crack though.

Cracked Eggs & Noodles 'Pasongsong Gyerantak' (2005) is a Korean comedy by Director: O Sang-hun with Im Chang-jeong and Lee In-seong, Rating: 12+

Review from Seoul Selection:
This touching comedy overlapped with a sense of pathos deals with the friendship between a man and a boy. It's suggestive title refers to ramyeon (instant noodles called "ramen" in Japan) and literally translates to "chopping scallions into small pieces and cracking an egg" (scallions and eggs are the most favored ingredients for ramyeon lovers in Korea). An advocate of sex, but not of marriage, bachelor Daegyu (played by singer-turned-actor Im Changjeon), 26, produces bootleg music albums for a living. One day, he comes across a plucky, nine-year-old boy named Jeon Ingwon (played by Lee Inseong) who insists that he is Daegyu's son born out of wedlock. Daegyu tries every possible means to send the bold boy back to where he came from, including reporting him to the police, deserting him on the street and even pretending not to have known him, but to no avail. Ingwon makes an offer to Daegyu: he will leave him forever if they first travel across the country together. During the journey, Daegyu comes to learn Ingwon's secret and finds a reason not to continue their cross-land journey.

A black, blue and purple sphere against a peachie coral gradiant background, that is rippled and cracked created by Paul Steffen. He is a mathematics and art major at Gavilan. He is doing a research project dealing with mathematical fractals. His most recent focus is to put together a CD library with up to 3000 fractals on it. It will be part of his legacy to Gavilan and remain with the CGD, Math and Art departments. He uses a variety of fractal programs such as Kaos, Gravision, InkBlot and KPT5. He will be transferring to UCSC, where he will be trying to incorporate his fractal art into philosophy and creative writing. Link

This egg is cracked!

Carrying on a tradition started by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878, children roll hard-boiled eggs across the South Lawn during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll Monday, April 21, 2003. In honor of America's service personnel, the festivities this year were open to U.S. military families.

In this experiment, taken from Earthquake Games, students use eggs to simulate the motion of Earth's plates.

You will need:

A hard-boiled egg for each student

Paper towels

Chart paper for writing observations

Markers


Procedure

1. Read a short nonfiction piece about the layers of Earth (core, mantle, crust).

2. Make comparisons between a hard-boiled egg and the Earth (core-yolk, mantle-white, crust-shell).

3. Introduce the concept of tectonic plates, then instruct students to lightly crack their egg shells until they have some small and some large "plates".

4. Discuss movement of tectonic plates due to forces within Earth.

5. Demonstrate how students can use their thumbs to create pushing, pulling, and sliding forces with their egg shell. Give them time to try out these forces.

6. On chart paper, list some of the results reported by students. Then ask them to describe Earth landforms that are similar in shape to what they saw with their eggs. Make sure to cover mountain formation, subduction (one plate sliding over another), and the breaking away of pieces caused by friction.


Fun Observations

When I boiled eggs for my class, I boiled some a bit too vigorously and a few cracked open. I showed these to my class and they were excited to predict why this happened. They came to the conclusion that these eggs were hotter than the others, producing more pressure than the shells could withstand. They especially enjoyed examining an egg that had burst open and had cooked egg white mounded in a very volcano-like eruption!

Design Description
When an egg cracks open, new life emerges. It?s a fitting Easter symbol: On Easter morning, the tomb cracked open and out walked a newly alive Jesus, leaving behind an empty grave. Use this unusually theme as an eye-catching, thought-provoking invitation this Easter.

So true!

Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Split Minds & Meta-Realities by Joseph Chilton Pearce "An investigation of non-ordinary reality." 1975. You can buy it second hand from Biblio.com But then again you might not want to after reading this review:

Just started reading this one last night. It has sat on my shelf for about two years, and I think I know why. Big words. The book is written in a style that is one of my pet peeves: the author uses complex and relatively difficult words to create complex and relatively difficult sentences to get across a point that could be said in much simpler language. Perhaps the book should have been entitled: Exploring the Crack in My Cosmic Ego Trip. Ultimately an interesting book, I'm not sure if I will be able to read it due to series of sentences like:

"In the following chapters I will show how culture forces each of us to create this 'pseudoreality' structured around the semantic effect of language, and how culture 'substitutes' a semantic reality for a direct reality interaction. Culture's word-built world acts as a stimulus substitute that replaces, changes, curtails, or mutates stimuli from a real world. What we experience as acculturated people is never the free interaction with our life flow, that for which we are designed by our 'primary programming.' Rather, we experience a life flow filtrered through an ideation scheme sharply altering our real world."

I mean, damn. Why not just say: "We are disconnected from true, immediate reality by the constructs of culture." He'd still get to use some big phrases and get his point across in a more concise way. Egghead.

The author also wrote The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: New Constructs of Mind and Reality in 2002 Amazon Book Description writes: This enormously popular New Age classic is finally available again to challenge the assumptions of a new generation of readers and help them develop their potential through new creative modes of thinking. With a masterful synthesis of recent discoveries in physics, biology, and psychology, Pearce reveals the extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and nature's blueprint for a self-transcending humanity.
The classic work that shaped the thought of a generation with its powerful insights into the true nature of mind and reality. 

The sum total of our notions of what the world is--and what we perceive its full potential to be--form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This logical universe creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds of power and prevents us from reaching our true potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that today's society assaults on every level. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Jesus, Carlos Castaneda, and others, Joseph Chilton Pearce provides a mode of thinking through which imagination can escape the mundane shell of current construct reality and leap into a new phase of human evolution.
