Abstract: Diffusion is a widespread phenomenon, responsible for brownian motion and for mixing particles in a fluid. Now an experiment has shown that it can cause startlingly large fluctuations in the process of mixing two fluids. The fluctuations will be larger still in a low-gravity environment, so experiments in free fall may find some manifestations of diffusive motion to be profoundly changed.
