I'm actually a little shocked that they don't at all mention Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in this, which surely must have been at least in part the inspiration for it. (The Oracle of Bacon - http://oracleofbacon.org/ http://oracleofbacon.org/ - still cheerfully works after, oh, a decade and a half or so.)
- afandian 11y agoI'm a little shocked that you mentioned Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon without mentioning the Erdős number.
- odabaxok 11y agoAnd to go further the inspiration for Bacon Number is the Erdős Number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number And a fun combination of them is the Erdős–Bacon number (Carl Sagan with 6, Natalie Portman with 7).
