The Cosmic Egg - A Short Story

The Egg
⠀
Story by Andy Weir
Animated by Kurzgesagt
⠀
The Cosmic Egg is a recurring theme in the creation myths of many cultures, and even appears in modern cosmology, the idea that the world has a beginning and in some sense emerges from an egg-like shell
⠀
Hindu mythology
⠀
Its embryo gave birth to Agni – the god of fire, the origin of all sacrifices – and its shell became the Earth. Linked to the 'brahman' – the essential energy, the absolute principle – 'the cosmic egg' is also referred to as 'brahmāṇḍa'. As a source of life, it brings male and female principles together.
⠀
