The Gaussian Diffusion Approximation proposes that the distribution of displacements Δx for a particle diffusing through a complex fluid has a Gaussian dependence on Δx. We demonstrate from experimental evidence and computer simulations that this approximation is generally incorrect in complex fluids. As a result, experimental studies that have used the Gaussian Diffusion Approximation to interpret their findings will need to be reconsidered.
