When you study physics, you're bound to brush up against some of the universe's larger mysteries. What came before the Big Bang? What lies inside a black hole? Is it possible to break a stick of dry spaghetti into exactly two pieces?

Perhaps you've found yourself asking that last question in your own kitchen. Why is it that, when you try to snap a single piece of uncooked spaghetti in half, you almost always end up with three or more pieces of pasta clattering across your counter? It's a logic-defying phenomenon that has baffled chef and scholar alike for decades; even Nobel physics laureate Richard Feynman, who helped develop the atomic bomb during World War II, is said to have spent the better part of a night sitting in his kitchen, snapping spaghetti sticks and searching for an explanation.

Yep forget trying to find the cure for cancer or developing an alternative to plastic, what we really need to do is find out if it's possible to break a piece of uncooked spaghetti into only 2 single pieces

Why on earth would you break spaghetti anyway? Its meant to be that long.....

I guess i understand wanting to know the unknown, but just don't mess with the fine form of pasta that is spaghetti

Clearly people like @bjorkiii need the spaghetti snapped because it's too long for their tea cups
