Einstien's 1905 paper on Brownian motion. This influential paper suggested not only a molelular explanation for Brownian motion but a method testing the existance of atoms based on measurable quantities such as distance and temperature! Although some of the math is a bit complicated focus on Einstein's explanations at the beginning and end of each section.
