What is the meaning of 'Six degrees of separation'?

Due to the ability to make connections and friendships over greater distances (with easier travel, telephones, and later, the internet) it is hypothesized that everyone on the planet can be connected through no more than six "degrees of separation". For example, say I wanted to connect myself with the Queen of England. The first step would be for me to find a friend who was from England or had ties with people there. Then I would connect one of there friends to someone else until I had someone who knows the Queen. This should take no more than 6 of these "friend to friend" connections. ME-->Friend#1-->Friend#2-->Friend#3-->Friend#4-->Friend#5-->Queen So, although I don't know the Queen, or probably anyone after "Friend#1" I can be connected to her through acquaintances no more than 5 times removed.
