The question is still in the forefront of my mind: what on Earth drives this perpetual movement? I simply must have some source of energy.

The question is still in the forefront of my mind: what on Earth drives this perpetual movement? I simply must have some source of energy. While my own Leitz scope is in for an endless repair (parts hard to find), I cannot do a simple test, to prove my own theory right or wrong. Dr. Ana, Karl, Len, Dr. Nixon - anyone - please prove me wrong with actual video evidence, rather than a quick cart blanche discount with a chuckle or wave of hand. I still somewhat suspect this endless movement to be tied to Brownian motion. This is entirely temperature dependent and tiny soil particles show this identical movement pattern, with identical particle sizes / particle mass, with identical jerky movement - and it goes forever. HOWEVER, the movement displayed at room temp is FAR faster than near freezing as molecular vibration slows down. Simply put your microscope slide into the frig for 15 minutes (at or near 32F) and then quickly view and film the movement. Has it slowed down or no? It is such a simple test, but nobody can get this done. So... double dare ya - can you prove me wrong? Pretty please - does that help???
I will do that!
