Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It was originally set out by Frigyes Karinthy in 1929 and popularized by a 1990 play written by John Guare.
Theories on optimal design of cities, city traffic flows, neighborhoods and demographics were in vogue after World War I. These conjectures were expanded in 1929 by Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy, who published a volume of short stories titled Everything is Different. One of these pieces was titled "Chains," or "Chain-Links." The story investigated in abstract, conceptual, and fictional terms many of the problems that would captivate future generations of mathematicians, sociologists, and physicists within the field of network theory. Due to technological advances in communications and travel, friendship networks could grow larger and span greater distances. In particular, Karinthy believed that the modern world was 'shrinking' due to this ever-increasing connectedness of human beings. He posited that despite great physical distances between the globe's individuals, the growing density of human networks made the actual social distance far smaller.

Six degrees of seperation
There's a girl at Kings Cross station
Wow, how did ya know?
Ill gotten gains for all my sins
Never thought I'd be where I am now
How did you know this time
Pack your bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
Oh what a tangled web
You've weaved yourself into a corner now
Where will you go
All the bitter sweet and twisted lies
Finally caught you out
Where will you go, this time
Pack your bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
Pack your bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
I don't like anything about ya
Coz I found out just in time
That kinda evil look about ya
Reminds me of wasted life
Just go ya own way right now
Pack ya bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
Pack your bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
Pack your bags and leave your troubles
Walk away from all your worries
Now, it's time to move on
Time to move on
Time to move on
