Einstein and Brownian Motion Concepts

In 1905, Einstein published works covering various physics topics. He explained the photoelectric effect and later explored Brownian motion, the random movement of particles in fluids. This motion suggests the existence of atoms, which Einstein mathematically described, providing evidence for atoms' existence and estimating their size. He used an analogy of measuring a penguin's size by observing iceberg movements.
