Turns out there is a very interesting theorem by Polya about random walks that separate 1 or 2 dimensional random walks from higher dimensional ones. I thought I'd link this video, because it's so well done.



Love this quote from Shizuo Kakutani to describe Polya's result: "A drunk man will find his way home, but a drunk bird may get lost forever."
