I am a senior level physicist at the University of Alabama: Huntsville and I am going to do my physics research starting next semester. I need some serious, interesting, and fun ideas on what to focus on.

Thus far I have had upper level mechanics, intermediate relativity, all calculus and differential courses offered. Linear Algebra courses also. When I do my research project I will be taking in concurrency: Electromagnetism, Modern Physics, Quantum Mechanics.

I would like a topic that there is a lot of supporting primary sources I can pull from. I would appreciate ideas in:

Mechanics
Relativity
Gravitation
Electromagnetism
Meteorology
Applied Mathematics

If you could post your idea, briefly describe what it entails I would greatly appreciate it. I have a couple of ideas of my own, but none really get me excited. So I turn to the great physics community to throw your ideas at me. Help me out everyone!

Have you asked the great physics community at the University of Alabama: Huntsville about ideas? It seems to me that the professors who taught you are aware what you can do and provide better guidance. You will be able to get a deeper understanding if your topic is related to the local expertise, especially if you decide to do experimental work.

To be real, this request went unanswered for more than 12 years. It goes to show that the net that one casts can be too wide to get any responses or advice.
