Brownian Motion
The molecules in your cells move in a way that is beyond surprising.
When something is as small and light as a molecule, it has very little inertia. In other words, it takes very little energy to move a molecule a great distance.
This allows molecules to move amazingly fast. If you were to track the movement of one molecule in one of your cells, you would find that it moves at about 16 feet per second (not in a straight line of course).
This amazing speed causes many particle interactions, which allow the components of complex molecules to come together, being built by sheer chance.
