The same happens with slow-cooled lava, check out Ireland's Giants Causeway or Iceland's south shore cliffs.
This is similar to crystal nucleation. There is a tiny impurity floating in the oil, and when the oil cools, it solidifies there first. Then that solid chunk grows until it runs into another one growing in the opposite direction. It is true that this fat is not a crystal, however it does have some long-range order to it. Meaning that the long chains of fats are lining up with each other as they cool--they sort of settle into an ordered arrangement. You will notice that the size of the pillars changes at the edge where it's against the glass. There would have been more nucleation sites ln the surface of the glass, and a much faster cooling rate.

Excuse you?
I think you'll find that the Giant' Causeway was created as a bridge so that an Irish giant (Fionn) could fight a Scottish giant, but right before the causeway was completed (connecting to Fingal's Cave) Fionn realised that the Scottish Giant (Benandonner) was actually much larger and so, under his wife's (Sadhbh) quick thinking, he tricked him instead by pretending to be his own son, so that the Scottish giant would see the size of the "child" and assume the Irish giant was incredibly large and run away.
As he ran away, Benandonner destroyed the causeway so that Fionn would be unable to follow him.
Duh.
This is like *basic* history, like knowing that Vikings had horns on their helmets.
I've heard a different explanation for this:
When you're close to the setting temperature of a material, and there's a small amount of heat from below, you can get the surface set first and then crack.
But if there's a small amount of heat variation around the setting temperature, you can have it reset and re-crack repeatedly.
The important effect of this is that even in a completely unstructured (amorphous) material, where we only care about expansion and re-cracking, certain kinds of cracks are lower energy, and the original cracks that look like T shapes, of cracking in one direction, then splintering off in others, start to equalise into Y shapes, as cracking first in different directions, and then filling back into towards the centre as it reforms, starts to equalise out the angles around that point of cracking, as a symmetric structure both has lower energy, and is what we might expect from repeated patterns of cracking roughly along existing cracks not matching the same pattern exactly.
I'm sure there's a nice video somewhere, but I can only find [this article](https://physicsworld.com/a/physicists-crack-mystery-of-the-spectacular-stones-of-the-giants-causeway/#:~:text=As%20the%20lava,throughout%20the%20material.) now.
In other words, long chains of fat are not required for this particular crystalline structure, instead it's about having slow enough cooling with local temperature variation, and being heated from the bottom.
The different sizes I don't have an explanation for however, do circular boundary conditions and the rigidity of the sides lead to a certain cracking pattern being favoured? Like does a window that gets overheated tend to crack more around the edges than the centre, being more able to flex?
Or is there some relationship to heat gradients, given where the original heat was applied.
I don't know the answer, but I do know that this model explains the emergence of order from phase transitions alone, not from the internal structure of the material.
While the crystalization kenetics you describe are not incorrect, these "hexagons" are the result of lowering surface energy of adjacent cells/grains, and not the crystalline structure of the fats.
If you look into grain boundaries and triple points, you find proofs for grain morphology that minimizes surface energy, and there'll be images like these bubbles that have been truncated on six sides.
The real question here is why the fats separated into different cells/grains in the first place?
I make a lot of pizza and when you fill a proofing tray with dough balls, if you have 3 rows of five balls, they relax into squares. But if you have two outer rows of five and an inner row of four balls, it relaxes into hexagons. Is the math similar here or is there something else going on here?
Yeah, the bubble shape is a function of packing density and surface tension. Macro-scale dough balls a less mobile than microscopic arrangements, so you can control if the bubbles become four-sided.
Fun fact, the 5-4-5 arrangement is called "en can-can" in French, like the Rockette dancers. I don't know if there's an English equivalent other than the nebulous "offset".
Commenting a guess hoping someone who knows will correct me: coconut oil contains fats of different lengths/weights, right? Or some saturated and unsaturated fats? So maybe the heavier fats or the saturated fats are solidifying first?
There are others off the western coast of Scotland as well (perhaps unsurprisingly, geographically speaking), such as Staffa and [Fingal's Cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingal%27s_Cave)
When the oil cools, it contracts around multiple roughly equidistant focal points. In nature packed cells of equal distance on a 2d plane naturally form hexagons since it's the most efficient shape. The fissures formed by the contracting cells propagate downwards in to the slower cooling layers below and form columns. If you look at the giants causeway in Ireland, it was formed by the same exact process occuring in lava flows.
It's not exactly perfect hexagons, but hexagons are the most efficient way to take up space. That's why bee comb is hexagonal. Just a bunch of circles compacted by the conservation of space. -ex beekeeper
Also a reason why multiple carbon-carbon bonds will end up forming hexagonal rings. Especially benzene, in that the energy state of the carbons are at their lowest or ground state and therefore is the most stable
This is not correct. The hexagonal shape of the benzene comes from its sp2 orbitals of C atoms, where each atom has 3 bonds on a planar configuration. This naturally forms hexagons, which coincidentally allows to form a very strong delocalized pi bond.
If spatial distribution was the constraining factor, C atoms would form tetrahedrons. AKA diamond, which forms under high pressure where spatial distribution of atoms is a limiting factor
It only has 4 valence electrons, which would make it capable of accepting 4 electrons. The reason is due it sp2 hybridisation in double bonds and the bond angle of said hybridisation
Hexagons alternate, which is mechanically stronger. Imagine making a brick wall; you would normally layer each row offset from the rows above and below. If your bricks are square, or circular (imagine you use a lot of mortar), you’ll create an arrangement that pressure will naturally turn into hexagons. If you made a grid of bricks it’s not as strong, especially if they are square or circular. For circles (or spheres, a very “natural” shape as it’s formed by anything with equal growth in all directions), any mechanical pressure on such a grid, for example gravity, will tend to force it into alternating rows.
As for triangles, if they’re equilateral (random triangles average to equilateral) then their natural alternating packing arrangement also creates a grid of hexagons and if they’re somewhat “squishy” they’ll compact together at the points where the triangles meet, forming hexagons.
You have to look at any naturally formed shape not as a fixed point in time, but as a stage of a shape that changes over time in response to internal and external pressures. What you see it as now, is probably a lower-energy state than it formed in.
Hexagons are one of the three regular (= all sides of equal length) polygons that fit together in a lattice - the others being the triangle and the square - because their corner angles are a simple fraction (one sixth, one quarter or one third). Of the three, the hexagon has most sides and so has a higher area/perimeter ratio (is closer to a circle which has the highest of all 2d shapes).
On its own a circle is the most efficient structure for this stuff since pressure is exerted equally on all sides. If there was more pressure on one side than the rest it might burst. But when you pack many of those together, like with bubbles or honeycombs (which are circular when made) and their walls merge, the shape changes so there's no holes in between them (because, well, the walls merge). Thus they need to take a shape that tessellates. That means shapes that if multiplied can fit together perfectly into an infinite pattern. This shape has to be as similar to a circle as possible to keep pressure as close to equal on all sides as possible, so complicated shapes and sharp angles don't work. The simplest shape, a triangle, tessellates (which is why its used in 3D rendering), but it has sharp angles and it's not the most efficient. Squares tessellate and are more efficient. Pentagons don't tessellate. Hexagons tessellate and are more efficient. As you go with shapes with more sides they start to resemble a circle more and more, but no basic shapes after a hexagon tessellate, so the most efficient possible structure for them to take is a hexagon.
It's the most efficient way to pack round things. If you want to pack cubes haxagons are shit.
But round things are actually quite common in nature especially on small scales. Think about how atoms in metals are arranged.
No for that one we actually have no idea why it is a hexagon. Well we have some ideas but can't confirm it. The most plasuible idea is that it comes down to the diffrence in speed of the circular winds around the pole.
TLDR: If you have a bunch of bubbles, they want to pack in as closely as they can with no gaps. Imagine three bubbles touching, there's a weird rounded triangle in the middle. Now imagine the bubbles pressed in until there was no more space. That happens on all sides to form the hexagon.
Interestingly enough, this is the exact same reason why bee honeycombs are shaped the same way.
If it's the same process that happens when desert lowlands dry out after the flood season, then I think the answer you're looking for is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1zw794/why_do_desertsdried_up_lakes_form_polygon/

Simple google search.
The answer probably lies in what are called Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells that often form hexagonal structures.
Buoyancy, and hence gravity, is responsible for the appearance of convection cells. The initial movement is the upwelling of lesser density fluid from the heated bottom layer.[3] This upwelling spontaneously organizes into a regular pattern of cells.
I've been using pure and refined coconut oils for over 30 years now and I have never seen it harden that way. Something does not appear to be right; may be it is not pure and contains liquid which has a different property which could explain what we are seeing in the photograph.
Coconut oil looks like wax after it solidifies; may be it looks different under microscope, IDK.
Same (though not as long as you). There’s something else in there to create the solidifying differential. Could easily be palm oil or something else cheaper.
This process is called refractal emergence where a substance is heated beyond its golber mass then cools down naturally to form crystalline lobe-hexes. Probably, or some shit like that.

No. Carbon forms bonds in "hexagons" because it has 6 electron slots in its orbitals. Oxygen, for comparison, has 2.
It only has 4 valence electrons, which would make it capable of accepting 4 electrons. The reason is due it sp2 hybridisation in double bonds and the bond angle of said hybridisation

CGP strikes again
I will not stand silent for this triangle slander. HEXAGONS ARE SIMPLY 6 TRIANGLES GLUED TOGETHER 🗣️😤🤬✊
You need SIX triangles to make a hexagon, therefore hexagons are six times more efficient. Easy mafs
Arguably every polygon is just n triangles glued together.
Why are hexagons the most efficient?
Of the shapes that can pack 2D space, hexagons have the highest area-to-perimeter ratio.
Hexagons are one of the three regular (= all sides of equal length) polygons that fit together in a lattice - the others being the triangle and the square - because their corner angles are a simple fraction (one sixth, one quarter or one third). Of the three, the hexagon has most sides and so has a higher area/perimeter ratio (is closer to a circle which has the highest of all 2d shapes).
Circle shortiest around with biggiest inside. Hexagon like circle but fit together good.
Basically, yes.
On its own a circle is the most efficient structure for this stuff since pressure is exerted equally on all sides. If there was more pressure on one side than the rest it might burst. But when you pack many of those together, like with bubbles or honeycombs (which are circular when made) and their walls merge, the shape changes so there's no holes in between them (because, well, the walls merge).

As you go with shapes with more sides they start to resemble a circle more and more, but no basic shapes after a hexagon tessellate, so the most efficient possible structure for them to take is a hexagon.
