Any Ideas for a Good Physics Research/ Report Project

[whitefeather]

Hi, I am trying to think of a really interesting physics topic to do a research & report project (basically an essay) on for my a level physics course work. I have got to come up with a title in the form of a question to write approx 2000 words on. I am finding it really difficult to think of something, I find pretty much all of physics so interesting, its hard to pinpoint one topic to write about.

I really like to do some aspect of space, universe etc. or something to do with light. I thought about maybe black holes, but i think a lot of students would do that. I was wondering if anybody out there could think of any interesting topics that i could research, something a bit different. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Here are some other ideas i have thought about.

Where did it all begin? (origins of the universe)
Does the universe have a speed limit?

one other idea i have thought about is if we placed a mirror out in space, could we look back to Earth at a younger time. IE, placing a mirror 1 lightyear away, we could see Earth 2 years ago, but not sure how far you could go with talking about that one,

Here's a couple of thoughts that come to mind:

Quantum Entanglement
Virtual Particles
Vacuum Energy
Holographic Principle
Time Dialation
Quantum Tunneling
Black Hole Information Paradox
