I have heard of the bacon law or something like that, how all actors in Hollywood are in at most 7 layers of isolation from Kevin Bacon. Is there anything like that for people in real life? How likely would it be that I could find a connection with any random person off of the street?
Yes, it's called the six degrees of separation theory, which suggests that everyone on the planet is connected to every other person through a chain of no more than six people. However, this idea is just a theory and has not been scientifically proven. It is still likely possible to find connections with random people, especially in today's interconnected world where social media and online networks have made it easier to connect with people.
Are you sure it is just a theory? Is'nt it something mathematicians and scientists at Facebook have researched?
