They are strongest at the thicker end because that is the part that hits the nest first after dropping out of the bird.

the shell is thiker and has an air pocket at the end that comes out first when the hen lays it, and has to be the toughest, because that is the end or point of the egg that hits the ground or nest when it drops out of the hen - it is to cushion the egg to stop it cracking open and killing the chick yolk.

because it's not a perfect circle. When it behaves more like a column (up and down) it is stronger than when it lies on its side.
