Brownian motion linear and angular momenta remain null over time. It is important also to note that the kinetic energies of the molecular Brownian motions, together with those of molecular rotations and vibrations sum up to the caloric component of a fluid's internal energy. This motion is named after the botanist Robert Brown, who was the most eminent microscopist of his time. In 1827, while looking through a microscope at pollen of the plant "Clarkia pulchella" immersed in water, the triangular shaped pollen burst at the corners, emitting particles which he noted jiggled around in the water in random fashion. He was
Brownian bridge Brownian bridge A Brownian bridge is a continuous-time stochastic process "B"("t") whose probability distribution is the conditional probability distribution of a Wiener process "W"("t") (a mathematical model of Brownian motion) subject to the condition (when standardized) that "W"(T) = 0, so that the process is pinned at the origin at both "t=0" and "t=T". More precisely: The expected value of the bridge is zero, with variance formula_2, implying that the most uncertainty is in the middle of the bridge, with zero uncertainty at the nodes. The covariance of "B"("s") and "B"("t") is "s"(T − "t")/T if "s" < "t". The
