Abstract
An exact spherically symmetric thin shell solution to the Einstein equ ations is obtained in the Weyl-Dirac theory with an oscillating scalar field. Boundary conditions are chosen such that the conformal invaria nce is broken in the interior space and the bubble has a scalar-field- induced surface stress-energy tensor that causes the thin shell to osc illate.
