The Universal Equation Of A Birds Egg

Have you ever wondered how to mathematically model an egg?  I have.  The only way I ever managed to come up with any equation to describe an egg was to fall back on a piece wise function.  If you ever really look at an egg, one end is nicely rounded while the other tends to be a bit narrower thus a piecewise function would allow me to combine two different equations.

 Well, researchers from the University of Kent, a research institute, and Vita-Market LTD have actually come up with the universal mathematical equation which can be used to describe the egg of any bird found in nature.  Up until this point, no-one has been able to formulate the equation.

Eggs by their very nature have to be large enough for an embryo, small enough for the body to squeeze out and lay, and structurally sound enough to bear weight while functional enough to come alive.  In addition, the egg is considered the perfect shape.

To find the universal equation of any egg, scientists had to determine the basic four shapes - sphere, ellipsoid, ovoid, and conical shape specifically the pyriform. So they based the formula on the length of the egg, maximum breadth, shift of the vertical axis, and the diameter based on one fourth of the egg length. 

By finding this universal equation, scientists are closer to understanding the shape of the egg itself, how and why the egg evolved, and new applications in various studies.  Although there have been mathematical descriptions of egg shapes in food research, engineering, agriculture, biosciences, architecture, and aeronautics, the new equation opens up more fields with its breakthrough mathematics.

This new universal equation allows for a competent scientific description of a biological object which will improve egg incubation while making poultry selection much easier.  It also allows for accurate and simple determination of the physical characteristics of the biological object. Scientists use the external properties in the development of technology for incubation, sorting, processing, and storing eggs.  In addition some of the characteristics of an egg can be used in architecture because the general shape is stronger thus holding maximum loads using a minimum of materials.

It is said that this universal equation strengthens the connection between mathematics and biology. It opens up additional avenues of research and understanding.  Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear.  Have a great day.
