    Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist, observed pollen grains and rock particles moving randomly when placed in still water, a phenomenon he called Brownian motion. Through further research, Brown determined that the motion was caused by water particles colliding with the pollen and rock particles. While Brown and physicist Albert Einstein independently studied Brownian motion, seeking to explain and prove the phenomenon, Einstein built upon Brown's initial discovery and observation.

    ROBERT BROWN WHAT HAS HE FOUND?

    Robert
    Brown a botanist from Scotland is a famous man, discovering not only the nucleus but now the Brownian Motion as he called it. One day Brown put some pollen in water and saw it suddenly jiggle. The water was still and Brown did not understand what was going on. His first thoughts included, Maybe the pollen is alive, so he tried it with some igneous rock powder. The parts were still moving inside the water though. Brown decided to continue with his theory and researched further. He soon found out that the water particles were hitting the pollen particles and causing them to move. He quickly became famous for his discovery. After Robert Brown made his discovery, Einstein worked on it too. Einstein being a physicist and Brown a botanist the two used both their skills to find out a logical explanation and a way to prove it. Yet they didnt work together. Sadly by the age of 84 Brown died on June 10th 1858. His discovery was to be remembered forever though.
