This is how Basalt columns form: Those shapes are forming because of how the lava cools. It starts at different spots called “centers.” If those centers are evenly spaced, the forces that pull inward toward the centers end up creating different chunks of cooling lava that are hexagonal (6-sided), or close to it.
14:30 they probably started out as circular but in a softer form and bundled together like bubbles. Because the sides keep touching each other you get hexagons. This effect also takes place in honeycombs bees make then circular and they slowly sag in hexagons
You're thinking too hard about how hard thinking about thinking really is. That's why we have Philomena, to do the hard thinking about how hard thinking is, for us. The "stones" are a natural formation. They are Basalt columns, as seen on the Giants Causeway and other places. Formed by cooling lava. Kettle Chips are an annoyingly branded crisp.
You are watching Phenomena and asking..."Is that true?" Only an American could say that!! LOL! Renne SAUCE you dolt! Mind blowing how far over your head this goes!
14:40 the stones are natural it’s created because of the makeup of the stone itself. many stones form with crystalline base structure meaning larger outcroppings mimic that same shape. (Disolved saltwater has salt which is crystalline when that salt dries into flakes those flakes are crystalline and when you make salt rocks/those candy rock looking sticks the salt forms in a similar crystalline formation. Larger sections mimic that small crystaline shape even if the size is exceptionally large.

Those rocks have had hundreds, thousands, million years of compression or growth to form into the large shape they are

The stones are the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland, a naturally occurring phenomenon and I think it's a World Heritage site. A few miles from Bushmills Distillery
Yes the stones are natural. They are basalt columns and form in this hexagonal shape when a lavaflow starts to cool off and the Lava hardens. The cold, mafic lava has less volume than in its liquid form and contracts, forming cracks from top to bottom when it does so. The hexagonal shape is the result of the specific crystalline structure of Basalt, because of this structure the hexagonal form is the ideal state of it. Path of least resistance sort of.
Well a 'chip' is actually a slice of a potato, and that slice is crisp. That's why we call fried potato slices 'crisps' and chips of potato 'chips' - fries could refer to anything fried.

The hexagonal basalt columns of the giants causeway of Northern Ireland continue on under the sea to the coast of Scotland. They were formed by natural geological processes caused by the volcanic heating and then cooling of the basalt forming a sort of crystal structures. I believe.
Diane Morgan was brilliant as Philomena. British humour at its best. There are prehistoric pictograms like those in England cut in chalk hills. There are also horses.
