I tried to find out what "Brownian Motion" was, so googled it... Still no idea :loco: What the hell? :smart:
You're simply going to have to dumb it down for the likes of me! :)
Still, I've seen your shop Ade and could definitely sympathise with you on the losing things in there!!

Haven't heard of it since school 50 years ago, Ralph, when I remember being taught something along these lines:
Brown observed through his microscope that very fine pollen, when scattered on the surface of water, jiggled around. From this, he deduced that the water molecules were constant motion, knocking the pollen grains about.
Good one for the pub quiz!
Andy
Edit: This was 200 years ago, before the existence of molecules was known. So Brown will have observed the motion, but won't have deduced that molecular motion caused it.

Ahh... Becoming clearer... If you read the wickedpedia version it goes all over the place with particle theory and some fella's theorum and stuff about random walking.
I guess that's all about the pollen then... it does also state that but not in such simple terms. I guess some things I just need broken down into bite sized chunks? Well, many things really ::)
Thanks for that Andy.... Pub quiz indeed, should have been at one tonight. But it all fell through!

Well, from that last comment, of needing pollen broken down into bite-sized chunks, an extra-terrestrial reader might infer you were either perhaps a bumblebee or a denizen of Brobdingnag? ::)
