Primes¶
- Diffusion
- At the microscopic scale, Einstein's
This sourceResolves Brownian motion via statistical mechanics; derives the Stokes-Einstein relation D = kT/(6πηa) connecting diffusion coefficient to temperature, viscosity, and particle radius; predicts mean-square displacement <x²> = 2Dt.

- Random Walk
- In physics, it is the drunkard's walk and the foundation of Brownian motion: a pollen grain buffeted by independent molecular collisions executes a random walk whose √t spreading Einstein used to confirm the atomic hypothesis and measure Avogadro's number, and the same structure underlies thermal diffusion, polymer chain conformations, and the random-walk model of electrical resistance in disordered media.
This sourceIdentifies Brownian motion as a random walk with √t displacement, confirming the atomic hypothesis and enabling measurement of Avogadro's number.

- Time
- Space allows objects to exist in different places simultaneously; time permits only one moment at each location, enforcing strict succession, a distinction Einstein (1905) made operationally precise by showing that the simultaneity of distant events is observer-dependent while the temporal ordering of causally connected events is invariant.
