Thread: Six degrees of separation

I have been fascinated with this since the movie came out and the play. If the theory that was started in 1967 was a cause of such skeptisism; why then not see if it plays out. In todays day and age we have computers. I feel that it is quite possible. I always felt it was possible to attain if you had three good friends. In turn use their aquaintences and so on. I was always fascinated by the each degree of seperation. The theory though states you have to pick a subject that is unknown to you: for example - an unknown person in another country. Someone you never met before. Then you start your journey. They say its possible to meet aquaintence upon aqauintence till you meet your subject. I guess the theory would be easier to actually acheive through computers instead of mail or travel. I don't know but either way - it would be awesome if someone had the time to do it - I would actually enjoy seeing someone try to prove or disprove the theory. I think it would be awesome to meet so many people to meet the unkown that is randomly selected. It takes time to get through each seperation upon the subject picked. What i find amazing is all the people you meet along the way. You would definately have to journal it. Hence through seperation is aquaintences. The list is endless.
