Ever wondered if you can actually ping anyone on Earth in just six social steps? Veritasium’s deep-dive video breaks down the “six degrees of separation” myth with hands-on simulations—showing how network shortcuts, weak ties and big hubs (think influencers) turn us into a surprisingly small world.
Along the way you’ll meet giants like Duncan Watts, Steve Strogatz and Albert-László Barabási, play with disease-spread and preferential-attachment models, and even explore the Prisoner’s Dilemma. Sponsored by Incogni, it’s a playful crash course in how our daily connections can ripple out and reshape the globe.
