The egg doesn't actually turn into rubber. The vinegar is an acid and the eggshell contains calcium carbonate which is a salt. The acidic vinegar breaks down the calcium carbonate of the shell (the calcium acetate is formed) and therefore dissolves it leaving only the thick membrane surrounding the hard boiled egg. It is only an egg without a shell.

How many days does chicken's eggs shell decay?
The chicken eggshell is 95-97% calcium carbonate with a stabilizing protein matrix. The shell can be dissolved by acids, including vinegar. If an egg is kept away from any acid attack, the shell can stay intact for years. If it is placed crushed and in contact with the ground, depending on soil acids, it may take weeks to months to disappear. If you are talking about an experiment at home soaking an egg in 4% acetic acid vinegar. . . it will take 24 hours to show good results and 36-40 hours for the entire shell to disappear.
