The Small world experiment refers to experiments conducted by Stanley Milgram to investigate the Small world phenomenon by examining the average path length for social networks of people in the United States. The research was groundbreaking in that it revealed that human society is a small world type network characterized by shorter-than-expected path lengths. The experiments are often associated with the term six degrees of separation, although Milgram did not use this term himself.
