Veritasium dives into the mind-bending math of “six degrees of separation,” showing how just a handful of random links—or “shortcuts”—turn any social network into a tight-knit web. You’ll meet the Watts–Strogatz small-world model, discover why “weak ties” pack such a punch, watch disease-spread and preferential-attachment sims in action, and even see how hubs emerge and the Prisoner’s Dilemma plays out on a global scale—all with chapter timestamps so you can skip right to the cool bits.
Along the way you’ll snag a 60% Incogni discount, check out Snatoms (magnetic atom models!), and get links to play with the interactive simulations yourself. Huge thanks to network gurus Watts, Strogatz, Barabási & Buchanan, plus the army of writers, animators, producers and Patreon pals who made this whirlwind tour of connectivity possible.
