Does Hot Water Freeze Faster Than Cold Water?

The video explores the Mpemba effect, a phenomenon where hot water may freeze faster than cold water. Despite historical observations by figures like Aristotle and modern experiments, the effect remains scientifically controversial due to inconsistent reproducibility. Various theories, such as evaporation and convection currents, attempt to explain it. Viewers are encouraged to conduct their own experiments to explore this scientific mystery.
