Brownian Motion 2025 Workshop : Friend and Foe
Join us in 2025 in Switzerland on the 120th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s paper on Brownian motion, where he proposed a formula for the mean-square displacement of translational motion of a particle immersed in a fluid with the background Newtonian spacetime, which led to experiments proving the existence of atoms.
