THE STATES OF MATTER, AND WHAT DOES MOTION HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

This is a simulation of the Brownian motion of 5 particles (yellow) that collide with a large set of 800 particles. The yellow particles leave 5 blue trails of random motion, and one has a red velocity vector. This is a simulation of the Brownian motion of a giant particle (dust particle) that collides with a large set of smaller particles (molecules of a gas) that move with different velocities in different random directions.
