Abstract
At a microscopic level, the liquid state characterised by molecules that interact many neighbours in a rapidly changing configuration. The resulting molecular motion is both complex and correlated over short timescales. In gases the concept of isolated binary collisions, and in solids that of an essentially static molecular configuration, has led to the development of theoretical models, but in liquids it is the correlated nature of the molecular motion that in many ways confounds mathematical description.Keywords
