Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a myth. I don't know.
- 0:02Speaker 1: We're talking about balancing an egg. You know, Spring coming
- 0:04Speaker 1: in two hours day? Yeah, light a fmcubby, Christine, produce
- 0:07Speaker 1: a Christen. It's eight oh nine. Spring officially begins at
- 0:11Speaker 1: ten forty six. And ever since I was a kid,
- 0:14Speaker 1: there was a claim that you could balance an egg
- 0:17Speaker 1: right during the equinox. Yeah, so you I'll stand.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Up straight, Okay, so spring right now. It says this
- 0:24Speaker 2: happens because Earth's tilt is perfectly aligned, so it isn't
- 0:29Speaker 2: leaning toward or away from the sun. Both hemispheres get
- 0:32Speaker 2: equal sunlight. And many cultures view the equinox as a
- 0:36Speaker 2: symbol of renewal, balance and new beginnings, and so an
- 0:39Speaker 2: egg can represent that as well. So yeah, I feel
- 0:42Speaker 2: like when we were in school, they would tell you
- 0:44Speaker 2: could an egg will stand up right if you put
- 0:46Speaker 2: it on the sidewalk.
- 0:47Speaker 1: What I'm reading here is, well, for the most part,
- 0:50Speaker 1: it seems to be a scientific myth. But there is
- 0:53Speaker 1: a couple of scientists out there that say balancing an
- 0:56Speaker 1: egg depends on patients, a steady hand, and the physical
- 0:59Speaker 1: properties of the egg rather than the actual date. So
- 1:02Speaker 1: it could happen pretty much anytime of the year if
- 1:04Speaker 1: you do it.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Oh, I see, it's just your technique.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yeah, the technique.
- 1:08Speaker 2: So we can't do the egg thing. But is today
- 1:10Speaker 2: where we get equal time? Yeah, night and day?
- 1:13Speaker 1: Correct, Okay, I believe we have like a seven oh
- 1:16Speaker 1: one sunrise and a seven oh one sunset. Oh, I
- 1:19Speaker 1: believe today. And of course the equator is the same
- 1:21Speaker 1: all year round. It's six thirty am sunrise, six thirty
- 1:25Speaker 1: pm sunset. That's all year on the equator. But yeah,
- 1:28Speaker 1: we're all pretty even right now, and the sun angle
- 1:31Speaker 1: is getting higher and higher and higher. And then June
- 1:34Speaker 1: twenty first it peaks and then we start going.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Downhill ninety three days till summer. But we saw that
- 1:39Speaker 2: little stat. Now I'm happy with spring summer. Summers have
- 1:43Speaker 2: been a little intense, right with the heats, and.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I enjoy the fall. But in the back of my mind,
- 1:48Speaker 1: I know we're going downhill.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Winter is coming.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Winter is coming.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Right now, I feel like anything happening is flowers coming up.
