I'm doing some research on Einstein and I'm not understanding what the Brownian movement is and what was so significant about it. I've been online for two hours now and I'm not doing to good so can someone help me out here and try to put it in the simplest terms that you can..ThanksWhat did the Brownian movement or motion prove to the science world?Brownian movement is the zig-zag pattern of movement observed of an object in a liquid caused by particles (atoms and molecules) bouncing off the object itself (object must be very small: i.e. Robert Brown observed pollen). Einstein used this set of experiments, done by Robert Brown, to show that particles (atoms) existed in a time when this issue was still widely disputed. A good book to look at is "Einstein: His Life and Universe" by Walter Isaacson. Many of Einstein's greatest works are discussed in the book and you would find it very helpful. What did the Brownian movement or motion prove to the science world?As you know, Brownian motion is the natural movement of microscopic particles. This basically remained a theory until Einstein conducted quantitative experiments on it.
The following reference should help you out regarding everyday applications of Brownian motion:
