If you put eggs in water to test if they are rotten is it if they float or sink they are bad?

To test an egg for freshness, place it in a container of cold water. Some eggs that are not fresh but are still good will raise up a little on one end or even stand up on one end. The eggs that are bad will float all the way off the bottom of the container, will not touch the bottom and should not be used.
