Tobler's second law of geography

Tobler's Second Law of Geography is a way of describing how things that are close together are more related to each other than things that are far apart. This law is a scientific way of saying that things that are close together usually have more in common with each other than things that are far apart. For example, if two towns are close together, it's likely that people in one town might know people from the other one. By contrast, if two towns are very far from each other, it's likely that the people in each one won't know anything about the other.
