85 ;;Quote: bodies of microscopically visible size suspended in liquids must, as a result of thermal molecular motions, perform easily observed, Brownian motion; allows exact determination of atomic size
86 ;;Quote: a suspended body performs an irregular, albeit very slow, motion; exerts osmotic pressure just like dissolved molecules
