if you hold an egg with your pointer finger on the top and your thumb on the bottom like this


no matter how hard you push the egg won't crack because the force is equalized. This is why people can stand on eggs. Dont blame me if you got yolk everywhere. If you pinch your fingers in it can crack so be careful. If done right you really can't crush it!
