CAMBRIDGE, England â British scientist Stephen Hawking has decoded some of the most puzzling mysteries of the universe but he has left one mystery unsolved: How he has managed to survive so long with such a crippling disease.
Brownian movement. n. 1. (General Physics) random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid, caused by bombardment of the particles by molecules of the fluid. First observed in 1827, it provided strong evidence in support of the kinetic theory of molecules.
What is Brownian Movement. What Brown observed was that the motion within pollen grains (suspended in water) seemed to move around the liquid seemingly at random. This intrigued him and he began to study why this was happening, and tried to establish what force was driving these random fluctuations and changes in direction.
