Explanation
Robert Brown made his well-known observations of irregular microscopic particle motion in 1827. The motion now called Brownian motion results from molecular collisions with suspended particles. It is not evidence that all moving particles are living, and a colloidal dispersion is not the same as a molecular solution.
