Hi. Long time, no post. Don't know if this is the best place for this post... seemed an okay fit. Anyway... I need help.
I need to do a dumb 10 minute presentation on some physics subject to this year's second years. The focus of this task is to test presentation skills rather than physics knowledge (although knowing what you're talking about is quite a good presentation skill in my experience).
Anyway, I'm basically too unimaginative, apathetic and lazy to come up with a suitable topic. Other ideas I've heard are things like the magilev trains in Japan... simple but groovy things like that which can be explained neatly in under 10 mins and warrant pretty diagrams. Nothing taxing. I've done some digging through things like Physics Today, Physics World, SciAm, etc, but can't find ANYTHING that sparks my interest. All my ideas are either naff or too complicated to explain.
Anyone have any good ideas? Anyone heard of any nice, simple physics stories that will fend off sleep for a dozen or so second years for ten minutes?
Thanks...
