What do Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon, the snowy tree cricket, Al Qaeda and the World Wide Web all have in common?
Not much you might think but in fact theyve all played a role in helping us make one of the biggest new discoveries in science. Each of them organise themselves in a network. Theres a mechanism by which actors, insects, terrorists and web pages link together and make connections. We used to think these links were more or less random but in the past few years scientists studying networks have discovered an astonishing thing; nature it seems has a hidden language and for the first time were able to read it.
Its a discovery that some are saying may prove to be as important as Newtons observations of gravity and Darwins theory of evolution. The new science of networks is set to change our understanding of the world.1

I wrote to the science channel. They don't have it on DVD yet. But they did say our email is important for them to decide if it's going to be on DVD. So all you guys interested, please write to the science channel.
actually i do know a little about science since the word means "to know" ; and as far as i know theories are not fact. This reminds me of the movie Minority Report ; in the film they think they have some science that can catch murders before they happen.........These claims are bogus because everyone knows someone who knows someone. So were are they trying to go with this?
than you know the famous quote from Maxwell: Nothing is more practical than a theory! Just hang on for half a year or so when Barabasi will tell you where you will be and what will you do in 10 years time :-) And that doesn't make him a cog from Minority Report.

Recorded it by pure randomness.
Thank-you.
