>turns out the hot liquids just *freeze* faster, but they still take longer to reach 0C, the cold one just supercools (achieve temperature under freezing point but don't freeze because ice crystal can't form yet)
Ah yes, the African "science"

so are you disputing their results or what? you sound like a jealous wigger.

He wasn't even a scientist, he was just a schoolboy who reported his observation to a initially skeptical physics prof.

What results? They don't even agree what the Mpemba effect is so they get different results.
The initially hot water freezes fast most likely because it has bubbles or impurities that let it crystalize while the cold one sometimes needs to be hit to start the immediate freezing.
This isn't science this is playing with the lack of scientific rigor.

is not scientific. show proof wigger

That's not the point, I gave an example why this could be. The problem is how much they pretend this is some big discovery.
