this is an age old question that dates back to king Auvergne in the gaul state of France. it shrinks because of the hyper comduenciation happening inside the egg. the salt water reacts with this so it shrinks, it also shrinks because the salt in the water kills the potential baby chicken inside the egg, once this space is not needed the egg contracts to keep from wasting space.

hope this helps you.
