Brownian Motion

 

What is Brownian Motion?

Brownian Motion, in terms of physics, is the random motion of particulate matter suspended in a fluid. Why is this significant? Well, put simply, it's not. Of interest is the fact that Brownian Motion is one of very few things that truly cannot be predicted, in other words, Brownian Motion is genuinely random.

There are several reasons that I chose to call this site Brownian Motion, largely related to that randomness. Because it is a source of true randomness, Brownian Motion is potentially useful in the field of cryptography, which has fascinated me for some time now. I also have a bit of a fascination with fractals, which can be generated by graphing the movement of particles through fluids.
