This is doubly wrong! First, the discussion page says there's no topic called "thermal motion"-- but I just came from there. Second, the topic for "Thermal motion" should refer to the random motion of particles when heated. Key concepts include collisions, thermal equilibrium, Maxwellian velocity distribution, effect of temperature on the particle speeds, thermal vs. non-thermal motion. 68.35.24.36 04:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC) William C.

Merge, redirect or expand?[edit]

Thermal motion is a significant phenomenon, so I think a stub representing it should be out of question. Either merge it with thermal equilibrium or maybe better with Brownian motion, or just redirect it to one of them if nobody would like to expand it. --V.

I suggest merging into Kinetic theory. Djr32 (talk) 12:37, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
