I have to do an undergraduate thesis starting next month. But I still can't think of a topic. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestion on condensed matter and high-energy physics. I will think of some topics of interest. I personally like very much about quantum physics. If possible, I want to encompass relativity. :p

Remember this is an undergraduate thesis, I really don't think that he wants to be going into quantum gravity.
Seeing as you like relativity and QM perhaps the semi-classical Hawking radiation of black hole may be of interest.
The Friedmann equation's ceratinly not too complicate dfor an undergraduate thesis, it can be written in very simple terms.
The advice really is that he shouldn't stray to far off the beaten track with an undergrad thesis.

I get this feeling that undergrad thesis is somewhat different from a graduate thesis. Can someone explain?
Choosing a good undergraduate thesis topic is important because it will be the focus of your research for several months or even years. It should be a topic that interests you and is relevant to your field of study. A good thesis topic can also showcase your skills and knowledge to potential employers or graduate schools.
To come up with a unique and interesting undergraduate thesis topic, you can start by brainstorming ideas based on your interests and the latest developments in your field of study. You can also talk to your professors or peers for suggestions and look at previous research to identify any gaps that you can explore further.
Some tips for narrowing down your list of potential undergraduate thesis topics include considering the scope and feasibility of each topic, as well as your own interests and strengths. You can also consult with your advisor or other experts in your field for their input and feedback.
Having a well-defined research question is crucial for your undergraduate thesis as it will guide your research and help you stay focused. It should be specific, relevant, and feasible to answer within the time and resources available. A clear research question will also make it easier for you to organize your thoughts and arguments in your thesis.
Some resources you can use to help you choose an undergraduate thesis topic include academic journals, books, and databases to research current topics and trends in your field. You can also attend conferences or workshops related to your area of study and seek guidance from your professors or academic advisors.
