Yes, I just checked my source today, and it says that Einstein observed the chaotic motion of pollen in water, and surmised that this was do to the chaotic motion of molecules that caused it. After lab experiments verified his observation, even the staunches detractors of the existance of molecules and atoms admitted their existance. Before then, atoms/molecules were regarded as a useful construct with no concrete evidence behind them. Einstein provided that evidence. --BlackGriffen :D'oh! I just read RjLesch's additions to the main page. My explanation was just a few hours late. --BlackGriffen :Wish I could claim credit, but that wasn't mine. --RjLesch |
