RANDOM THOUGHTS

 

 

 

The world is a small place.  There is this theory – the theory of six degrees of seperation.  It states that every person in the world is connected with every other person by maximum six degrees of seperation.  It would mean that every person is separated from any person say the President of the United States of America by six degrees of seperation.  It works like this.  Say I want to contact The President.  My acquaintances refer to one degree of seperation.  My acquaintances’ acquaintances are two degrees of seperation.  My acquaintances’ acquaintances’ acquaintances are three degrees of seperation from me.  In this way, as per this theory, I can contact any person on Earth within six degrees of seperation.  That means, I will be able to contact the President within six degrees of seperation from me.  Me thinks, the world is a very small place and meeting friends of friends in the most unlikely places is common.  However, will a person from an isolated tribe in the Amazon be able to share an acquaintance with another isolated person in Siberia within six degrees of seperation?
