Consequences
So what does it all mean?
1. Einstein determined the displacement of a suspended body in a liquid, assuming that the liquid was composed of
atoms.
2. The predicted displacement agreed with Brownian motion experiments performed by
Jean Perrin in 1908.
These two facts provided the first evidence for the existence of atoms!!!
GUESS WHAT.......THE ATOMISTS WERE RIGHT!!!
THE GREAT ATOM DEBATE
ROUND 3
Now with the Atomists having Einstein in their corner, he delivers the knock out punch to the Energetics and
proves that atoms do indeed exist!!!
