The random walk is considered the journey that a photon takes in exiting the nucleus of the sun (or any star). In the sun's center lies a core of plasma in which hydrogen atoms are smashed together in such force that they fuse and form helium. Since the two hydrogen atoms (H2) have more mass than a helium atom (He) the mass byproduct is released as energy. This photon of energy then travels out of the core, but as it leaves it constantly runs into, is absorbed by, and re-released by other various atoms along the way.
