      Many studies of this are actually ambiguous!.

        But ambiguity arraises from the lack of a coherent explanation, because there are so many parameters to consider when doing the experiment (especially when doing this with water). Therefore hot liquids can freeze faster than cold ones. Its not a must. That it can happen is proven. A quite entertaining read about the general phenomenon can be found here

          No, it doesn’t. The ambiguity rises from the fact that it’s not that repeatable. There are many experiments that don’t find this phenomenon to exist when they test it. Then there’s some that do. That’s the problem.

          My memory is that the majority of them find that it doesn’t exist and that a small minority find that it does.

            This is not contradicting. It can happen . but I was talking about liquids in general.

      Looking this up, I just realized that Francis Bacon and Roger Bacon were different people.

        Knowledge is power. France is bacon.

              Literally the other half of The Bacon Brothers!? That’s who you meant, right? Kevin Bacon, the singer? Well, he didn’t become famous alone.
