Almost every Wikipedia page leads to Philosophy (try this out)

5 posts in this topic

Did you know that if you click on the first link in any Wikipedia article, you'll usually end up on the Philosophy page? You can try it yourself by simply searching for anything on Wikipedia and clicking on the first hyperlink in the text. If you repeat this process, you'll typically reach the Philosophy page within 10 clicks. As of February 2016, this was true for 97% of all articles. However, some articles may lead to a page with no links, a non-existent page, or create a loop. It's still fascinating to see how this pattern occurs in so many cases.

Interesting, this complements the fact that philosophy explores the fundamental aspects of everything.

It's interesting to note that not every page leads to the Big Bang xD
