Six Degree of Separation

It’s a theory and they have tried to prove the theory. But the experiment still goes on. The theory is very simple and its called “Six Degree of Separation” and it saysSix degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries.It simply means that, you and any person in the world can be connected to each other through just 6 or less people.

It’s a wonderful concept and too complex to be true and yet it has almost been proved. So you and someone living as far away as in the Artic circle or someone who lives in the Thar dessert or someone living in a village in japan could know each other through 6 people. That person may be a good or a bad person. It really does not matter. But you know each other through just 6 or less people.

Everybody is connected. The world is getting smaller. The technology factor is there but still we do need people to connect. Its amazing the way things are working. You help your friend who is helping another friend who infact is helping another friend. Seems confusing but sometimes we are doing things for people you don’t even know and even though you don’t know them, you connect.

It gives a total new meaning to the word “Strangers”. Are people strangers because we don’t know their names, where they live or profession etc because if you look at it closely, everybody on the planet is separated by only six other people. Six degree of separation between us and everyone else on the planet. The next time you see a stranger, chances are he/she just might know you.
