§3 · The diffusion of small suspended spheres

Particles just large enough to see under a microscope must wander, Einstein argues, and how far they wander in a given time would let us count molecules. Read the argument, and open any step it leaves out.

Why viscosity changes the spread

Combining ideal osmotic pressure with mobility and diffusive balance relates diffusivity to temperature, viscosity and radius.
