For , the Brownian reflection principle gives
as . Hence Brownian motion hits every positive integer almost surely. Applying the same argument to shows that it hits every negative integer almost surely. Taking the countable intersection of these probability-one events proves
Arbitrarily late positive and negative values occur, and path continuity forces a zero between successive values of opposite sign. Thus recurrence of one-dimensional Brownian motion gives infinitely many visits to zero.
