A light bulb burns out when the element (typically tungsten) breaks. Sometimes the two ends of the broken element will fall back together and the light bulb will appear to have repaired itself. Usually any movement of the bulb will cause the two ends to come apart and the bulb is once again 'burned out'. Even without movement, the two ends of the element are very weak and the bulb frequently goes out permanently a short time later.
