I'm currently doing an MSc in Space Science and Technology. I've done engineering, celestial dynamics, astronomy and planetary science at postgrad level. I need to choose a thesis topic, and I'm a little short of ideas. I'm interested in theoretical physics and cosmology, but need inspiration for a suitable thesis topic. Any ideas of subjects to look into? I know it's very personal, but I might be able to get some inspiration...

This is really a topic for discussion with your supervisor. If you haven't chosen a supervisor yet, make that a priority. Talk to all of the potential supervisors in your department and learn what kinds of projects they have available. From a supervisor's point of view, it's great when a student comes to you with an idea already in mind, but in most cases it's not expected.
