Einstein's 1905 paper proved the existence of atoms by explaining pollen's random motion
Einstein's explanation of Brownian motion mathematically showed that the motion could only be explained if the particles were being hit by smaller, invisible particles, which we now know as atoms. This provided strong evidence for the existence of atoms.
Einstein's work on Brownian motion was crucial in confirming the atomic theory, which was a fundamental concept in physics at the time.
