anyone in the world reach anyone else through a chain of only 6 friends? A team of sociologists at Columbia University are interested in what is known as the "Small World Phenomenon." This is the idea that everyone in the world can be reached through a short chain of social acquaintances. This claim has led to the famous phrase "Six Degrees of Separation", but after more than thirty years, nobody knows if it's true. |
