THE SIX DEGREES OF

SEPARATION THEORY
 John Guare's Six Degrees of
Separation
I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is
separated by only six other people. Six degrees of
separation between us and everyone else on this
planet. The President of the United States, a
gondolier in Venice, just fill in the names. I find it A)
extremely comforting that we're so close, and B)
like Chinese water torture that we're so close
because you have to find the right six people to
make the right connection... I am bound to
everyone on this planet by a trail of six people.[
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

 Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a parlour game based on

the "six degrees of separation" concept, which posits that
any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance
links apart. Movie buffs challenge each other to find the
shortest path between an arbitrary actor and prolific
character actor Kevin Bacon. It rests on the assumption
that anyone involved in the Hollywood film industry can
be linked through their film roles to Bacon within six
steps. The game requires a group of players to try to
connect any such individual to Kevin Bacon as quickly as
possible and in as few links as possible. In 2007, Bacon
started a charitable organization called SixDegrees.org.
Bacon numbers

 The Bacon number of an actor or actress is

the number of degrees of separation he or
she has from Bacon, as defined by the game.
This is an application of the Erdős number
concept to the Hollywood movie industry.
The higher the Bacon number, the farther
away from Kevin Bacon the actor is.
