The corn syrup did not enter the shell-less egg due to osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. The concentrated corn syrup has a lower water concentration compared to the egg's interior, causing water to move out of the egg to balance the concentration gradient. This results in the egg shrinking rather than the syrup entering. The egg's membrane allows water to pass through but is less permeable to larger solute particles like those in corn syrup.
