Of course it's possible to balancepm an egg on end with just the right conditions (rough egg, rough surface, etc) but the ease of balancing significantly increases at the time of the equinox. The problem with the numerous failures I find on the internet must be based on the incomplete information. The more accurate information is AT the EXACT time of the equinox, not ON the equinox. For extra credit in my physics class in the mid 80's around midnight, I woke my 3 younger siblings to help me, placed a dozen eggs on the sidewalk, and we all teamed up to get 11 out of the dozen to stand on end within a one minute window of the EXACT time of the equinox. None would balance for the many minutes we tried before the exact time; after the first stood they all very rapidly readily stood, we watched in amazement as they one by one fell in the span of a couple minutes, and we could not get a single one balanced after several minutes of trying afterwards. Siblings still text me every year to remind me and thank me for including them in that experience. So much misunderstanding from changing one word of the instructions.
I remember the elephant as a young boy. I often played in around the museum. when about 5 years old me and a friend snuck out of our. Apartments and headed for the museum. The maintenance man had told us the elephants eyes glowed at midnight. there is more to the story, but suffice it to sayTips eyes did not glow.
Brain, I've been appreciative of you and your work since I started using your Citizen DJ project years ago. It is fantastic gift and one that more producers and people in general should explore. Thank you for all your contributions and I look forward to keeping an eye out for your future projects.

Beautiful, informative and so well expressed. How does an artist see the world around and above them. This is one of the most impressive views into the mind of the artist.
Hahaha cool story bro.... the tilt... lmfao where’s your imaginary tilt when looking at the midnight sun near North Pole? Is none! Because it’s PERSPECTIVE we don’t live on a spinning ball! Let’s wakeup sheeple nasa was exposed many years ago
This is a bogus video. Fake News! Look at the table wobbling after he touches it at 43-46 seconds in. That is NOT the type of solid surface you can balance an egg on! Something is hinky here! Maybe an electromagnet under table with doctored egg. The humans of old watched the skies like their lives depended on it, because it did depend on it! The humans of old were watching the skies, collecting eggs Every Day, and never saw a TV, RU-vid video, or ever went to a grocery store. They were rich if they had enough to eat and an oxen to plough with. There were no distractions. They were much more in tune with the natural world. The high tide in Los Angeles at the time of the vernal (spring) equinox on March 21,2019 was 1.87 meters (6.06 ft). So, it can't affect an egg, yet an Ocean is raised? The “law” of gravity describes effects which can be “measured” but not truly identified, certainly not currently duplicated or negated by humans. They are described by mathematical equivalents. There are many unanswered phyisics questions, more questions remaining than have been answered. The real mystery is WHY are modern humans denying this real effect?
Dear Mr. Taylor, I have been balancing eggs on the vernal equinox since 1982. When the conditions are right, they will snap too like soldiers. In 1991 I balanced 11 of them in less than a minute. I only got one up this year, and I tried for 20 minutes before and after. Your table looks less than optimum also, I’m surprised you could do it on a non anchored table with you elbows resting on it. I always use a Formica counter top. My real question is why people are trying to DISPROVE this so strongly?
That's what I want to know! Why the vitriol? I mean, I know it's no fun to be tricked, and of a lie leads to a few minutes of wasted time I can understand the frustration but, man! the amount of anger or meanness I've seen in so many posts is uncalled for. And extra bothersome for me because I know it can be done.
If you haven't been to this little gem of a museum, and you live in the mid-Hudson Valley, go! And, if you go soon, you will get to see this eerily beautiful one-of-a-kind visionary insect art installation. Absolutely gorgeous!
