Karinthy's Six Degrees of Separation

Karinthy's Six Degrees of Separation is the idea that any two people on Earth are connected through, at most, six acquaintances. This means you can reach almost anyone through a chain of friends, friends of friends, and so on, typically involving no more than six steps. It highlights how interconnected our world is, emphasizing that our social networks are surprisingly small on a global scale. The concept suggests that, despite the vast population, social connections are closer than we might think, which has implications for communication, information flow, and social dynamics.
