Crazy Chris introduces a science experiment to explore what happens to white light when it hits black objects. The experiment involves hanging a white and a black shirt next to a light source and observing the temperature difference after 30 minutes. The black shirt feels warmer because it absorbs more light, converting it into heat energy. This demonstrates how black objects absorb all colors of the spectrum, while white objects reflect them. The video concludes by emphasizing the coolness of science.
