Physics!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Anyway it's still not clearly solved, several hypotheses, the Mpemba effect, a almost daily phenomen in which hot water freeze faster than cold one. Excluded evaporation as cause, because the effect is also observed in a closed container.
Faster moving molecules will randomly arrange themselves into a lattice quicker than slower moving ones?
Maybe, but scientist are still divided about the phenomen.
