1972年，斯坦利·米尔格拉姆（Stanley Milgram）通过一个小规模实验发现了熟悉的陌生人的社会现象。然而，有有限的研究集中在揭示社会规模的现象，同时调查熟悉的陌生人之间的社会关系。在大规模的移动的电话记录的帮助下，我们经验表明存在的关系，在该国的安道尔。建立在时间和空间分布，我们研究的机制，特别是集体的时间规律性和空间结构，触发这一现象。此外，我们探讨了社交网络上的社会距离和相遇次数之间的关系，并表明，相遇次数越多，表明在社会网络中的社会距离越短。物理接触网络的理解对于理解流行病传播和信息扩散等现象具有重要意义。
The social phenomenon of familiar strangers was identified by Stanley Milgram in 1972 with a small-scale experiment. However, there has been limited research focusing on uncovering the phenomenon at a societal scale and simultaneously investigating the social relationships between familiar strangers. With the help of the large-scale mobile phone records, we empirically show the existence of the relationship in the country of Andorra. Built upon the temporal and spatial distributions, we investigate the mechanisms, especially collective temporal regularity and spatial structure that trigger this phenomenon. Moreover, we explore the relationship between social distances on the communication network and the number of encounters and show that larger number of encounters indicates shorter social distances in a social network. The understanding of the physical encounter network could have important implications to understand the phenomena such as epidemics spreading and information diffusion.
