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.
you put it in a cup of water or something that has water in it
If you put an egg in salt water for a week, the egg will begin to undergo osmosis. The salt concentration in the water will cause water to move out of the egg, resulting in the egg shrinking and becoming smaller in size. The egg's membrane may also become translucent or appear to be semi-transparent.
A deshelled egg will absorb water through osmosis, causing the egg to swell and increase in size as water enters through the semi-permeable membrane. This will eventually cause the egg to burst if left in water for an extended period of time.
When you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom if it is fresh. Fresh eggs have denser contents, causing them to sink. If it floats, it is an indication that the egg is not as fresh and has probably started to spoil.
When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.

After 5 minutes, a deshelled raw egg in water will absorb water through osmosis, causing the egg to swell and expand. This occurs because the egg's membrane is semipermeable, allowing water to pass through. The egg will increase in size as it continues to absorb water.
You should no put an Alien with Goo in water without the egg. The water will damage the goo and it will no longer be usable.
To boil it, better slit a small hole in the bottom of the egg. Then put it in the water.
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
the outside of the egg will be hard because the egg will be boiling
Put salt in the water
It will get wet.
it will get wet
Put the egg in water and let it sit there
it makes the egg float
I think that the egg shrivels up
