Topics for a physics presentation

In summary, there are countless interesting topics for a physics presentation, including the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, gravitational waves, the Big Bang theory, and the search for dark matter. When choosing a topic, consider your interests, audience, and current events. For a beginner-level presentation, topics such as motion, energy, forces, and properties of light and sound are good options. To make your presentation engaging, use visual aids and interactive activities. There are also controversial topics in physics, such as parallel universes, time travel, and the role of consciousness in quantum mechanics, that can make for thought-provoking presentations.

Homework Statement


I have to give a 10 minute physics talk that have to involve a fair bit of mathematics -- i.e. not just qualitative/handwaving material to some undergrads. I have wasted the last 3 hours looking for appropriate topics and have pretty much lost the will to live. Any suggestions Would be greatly appreciated.
