quote:six degrees of separation Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. The theory was first proposed in 1929 by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in a short story called "Chains." source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci932596,00.html
Six degrees of separation is an interesting theory and I would even give it a “reasonable” factor of a C-. There was an interesting show on TV last night, 23, January 2006, that connected the development of the space suit back to the hunting of Wooly Mammoths using harpoons in five 5, seemingly connected links, harpoon to space suit in five developmental steps. What I am not sure of is; did they go from the space suit back of from the harpoon forward?...I may have missed that part. But anyway, I have two 2, questions; 1.) Can anyone, using deductive reasoning, who may have seen the show spot a flaw in the links? And two 2.) Has there, to anyone’s knowledge, been any attempt to define the universe using that theory?
