This is !Brownian, version 1.31 (19 Feb 1996)
This is a simulation of the so called Brownian Motion. This phenomenen can
be viewed for real by looking at smoke particles with a microscope. The
smoke particles have to be illuminated from the side. They generally travel
along in a straight line until they are hit by the invisible tiny air
molecules. These are light, but move very fast, so they jolt the smoke in
different directions, when they actually collide.
This is much quicker to set up than the real thing, and more reliable, if not
quite so exciting.
Please look at the file Credits, obtained by pressing down <shift> while double
clicking on the !Brownian icon in the filer window. This gives information
about the excellent !EvntShell development system, without which I could not
have written this.
