how do eggs not break when you squeeze them from each side with your palm and not interlocking your fingers?
In: Physics
because the shell spreads the force around the egg. Breaking things is usually easy because u use some sort of physic force enthancer like a lever or u focus alot of force on a small point. the palm egg reverses this and let u put ur force all around an egg without using any kind of lever or focusing.
lets say normaly when u crack an egg u use 2 newton to smash it on an edge. the surface area is a few mm^2 where the force impacts the shell. when u press the egg with ur palm u have a surface area of 50cm^2 or 5000mm^2
