Rotational Brownian motion (astronomy) supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Perturbations from passing stars can alter the orbital plane of such a binary, which in turn alters the direction of the spin axis of the single black hole that forms when the two coalesce. Rotational Brownian motion is often observed in N-body simulations of galaxies containing binary black holes. The massive binary sinks to the center of the galaxy via dynamical friction where it interacts with passing stars. The same gravitational perturbations that induce a random walk in the orientation of the binary, also cause the binary to shrink, via the gravitational
Brownian Motion Ultimate Brownian Motion Ultimate Brownian Motion is the men's Ultimate team at Brown University. The team has a long, distinguished history as one of the top college Ultimate teams in the United States. Brownian Motion took home first place at the 2005 Ultimate Players Association College Championship Series in Corvallis, Oregon. Officially founded as a University organization on December 7, 1975, B-Mo (Brownian Motion's nickname) began in an effort to "rise against the challenge of other institutions," as the team's constitution reads. Like most other college Ultimate teams at the time, it consisted mostly of people who enjoyed playing frisbee, rather
