Here i am in an endless lecture. When my prof. begins enlightening the class with the so called "theory of diffusion", apparently when a solvent is dissolved in a solute the particles would move from an area of high concentration to areas of low. If this theory were true, then when the students first entered this classroom and began to disintegrate from the aura of boredom, i wouldn't be left cold and alone; staring at the lovely particle that refuses to justify the theory and move towards me. So i began to think, " maybe it's because she hasn't fully dissolved yet " then i recalled back to my chemistry lecture, i learnt that by adding a catalyst, or by stirring , etc ... the reaction would as a result, be sped up. I then began searching for a catalyst but i soon realized that i had no such substance, so i decided to use the stirring method. I faced myself towards the lovely particle and began waving my hands like mad, she looked, and i thought to myself " it must be working " all of a sudden she turns her head, and simultaneously mumbles "HMPH ..."
Me = " WHAT!?! O.o "

I think the person who theorized this theory must've neglected the possibility of particles being rejected. So the next time you mix something that you are sure it will diffuse, like food coloring (lets say red) with water, and you see a highly concentrated area of red in the volume of water + a tiny red dot far from it's comrades, and when you decide to stir, you may see the phenomenon of another red dot appearing rather than the anticipated result and is moving to the other side of the world with reference to the original tiny red dot, you'll have seen the rejection part of diffusion.
