So, upon hearing about it on the Lost DVDs, I've been wondering about the theory of six degrees of separation. Supposedly, any two people in the world can be connected by at most, six people. My brother doesn't think this is possible because it can't be proved. Does anyone here have an opinion about it? Do you really think it can be true? I think it could happen, but again, it can't really be proved. It would be very interesting, though!

of course, i think its possible, although yeah impossible to prove...theres also that one about a butterfly flapping its wings in south america can cause a storm in north america or something like that

:D Can't say I've ever heard that one... Lol. Do enlighten us!

i think thats pretty much it. that or its just me pretending to know more than i actually do lol
something to show cause and effects i guess
oh and there was that guy on the internet who started with a paperclip and traded it away for like something else and then he traded that for something else and so on until he got a house!!!

Wooow. See, gus, you know all this cool stuff and you've never shared it before! lol

yeah the trade for a house one was really crazy though, enough so that i remembered it

Yeah, it's called the butterfly effect, and it's part of chaos theory. And that paperclip thing was awesome! It made me want to start trading. :smile:
I think that it's possible. When you think about it, six people is a lot, considering how many people we've each encountered in our lives.

Definately possible.

I wonder what they classify as a "connection". Like, does it have to be somebody you've seen, or touched, or spoken to, etc?

I belive it could happen. Maybe we should see if it would actually work...:D
