Brownian Motion

0 Conversations

This is the irregular oscillations of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid. Its name is derived from that of a botanist, R. Brown, died 1858. There is invariably more Brownian Motion in hotter fluid as the particles move more rapidly. Therefore, hot liquids are used to provide the Brownian Motion required by small Improbability Drives.
