1. Brownian Motion
Gouy found that the "Brownian" movement was more rapid for smaller particles. ... And he found that the speed of movement increased with a rise in temperature, but then, it decreased if bigger particles were used in the observation. ... (Stachel 85) The crucial aspect of this paper is that Einstein predicted "motions of such magnitudes that they can be easily observed with a microscope"(Stachel 85). ... Thus, by neglecting the intricate path of a grain and by observing another quantity, far more easily extracted from observation, Einstein and Smoluchowski found a new promising ...
