Albert Einstein - The Size and Existence of Atoms

The video explores Einstein's contributions to physics, starting with his explanation of the photoelectric effect and moving to his work on Brownian motion. Brownian motion, the random movement of particles in fluids, provides evidence for the existence of atoms. Einstein mathematically described this motion and used it to estimate the size of atoms, demonstrating a clever approach to understanding the unseen world of particles.
