six degrees of seperation

Post » Sat May 10, 2014 9:56 am

Interesting theory that says we are all connected in six steps or less.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

what examples can you think of for yourself?

for me i can say i'm 3 steps away from President Obama.

Also using http://oracleofbacon.org/ can show you links between actors (and if you have a friend on imdb, you can use them and just add one to the result)

Which puts you four steps away (at most) from the other living US Presidents and basically all senators and most members of congress. In the US, distasteful as it may be, very few people are more than three steps away from a national politician, and they have pretty much all met each other. That by itself completes the 'six degrees' for the entire country, at least.

There used to be a variant of this called "6 steps from bacon" in which someone would be 6 steps or less from Kevin Bacon. Someone would shake his hand, then his friend would know someone who knew someone else, who knew your friend, then you.

By using the same Logic, I'm two steps from Travis Barker. I shook my friend's hand that shook Barker's hand.
