We simulated if you can really reach anyone in six steps

This video dives into the “small‐world” magic behind six degrees of separation, showing how a handful of shortcuts and weak ties knit huge networks together. Through interactive simulations, you’ll see how diseases (or viral videos) can spread in minutes, why hubs naturally emerge thanks to preferential attachment, and how these factors prove our world really is a tiny place.

Along the way, we even play with the prisoner’s dilemma to highlight how your personal choices—like sharing info or forming new connections—can ripple through the global network and change everything.
