5614 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 In Brownian motion you see a particle move in loads of random different directions, as if it were continually being hit by loads of little things. What could provide all of these little collisions? Atoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucaspa Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Did they tried it in a vacuum? If you have a vacuum, then you don't have any atoms or particles. Including the particle you are looking at! many of the original experiments were done with light particles on water. If you in vacuum, no water.

Ti Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well the system are well control right? Not the subject itself. The external surrounding! You know to rule out external forces. Who know, you maybe breathing on the subject to cause its motion. But remembered to bring breathing masks. Hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
