I was at Giants Causeway a few weeks ago, amazing place. The rock formations are natural formed from lava streams. On the opposite side of the sea in Scotland there are the same formations from the same eruption. There are numerous places around the world that have these formations.

Her genius is that when some “stupid” questions are asked, you then think “hang on, she’s got something there…” like a boy saying the Emperor has no clothes.
Giants causeway was formed in a similar way to how dry mud cracks. Volcanic liquid basalt contracted and split as it cooled from top to bottom, forming columns of rock.

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.
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.
14:38 Yes, it's natural it is basalt rock formed from volcanic activity. it is on the North coast of Northern Ireland and known as 'The Giant's causeway'
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!
Google says - The word "volcano" comes from the little island of Vulcano (with a U) in the Mediterranean Sea off Sicily. Centuries ago, the people living in this area believed that Vulcano (with a U) was the chimney of the forge of Vulcan -- the blacksmith of the Roman gods
This is like"ADHD/Autistic reacts" (which I am) and it's wonderful. Trying to get background on every small bit to get the joke, forgetting why you need to se the orange bit again... I love it!
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. In this case the formation is hexagonal because the rocks themselves have 6 sides meaning whatever the stone composition is it mimics that hexagonal pattern You can think of it like tree rings. Those rocks have had hundreds, thousands, million years of compression or growth to form into the large shape they are
Character first seen on Charlie Brooker's shows I think. Now I keep thinking about 2016 wipe and how we all thought everything was terrible then. Hopefully still on UA-cam. Also Philomena flummoxed that poor man by asking him to compare Jane Austen to "mr men".

"Crisps: a wafer-thin slice of potato fried or baked until crisp and eaten as a snack." "Chips: a thin slice of food (typically potato) made crisp by being fried, baked, or dried and eaten as a snack." I feel like they're both equally logical ways of referring to crispy, cooked slices of potato.

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.

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.
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.
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.
"Crisps" make every sense; they are very thinly sliced potatoes cooked to be 'crisp'. Look up the generic dictionary definition of a 'chip' (not specific US) and see what makes most sense.
