Just though I'd mention that I successfully defended my PhD research last week. The defense was titled 'Investigation into Compactified Dimensions: Casimir Energies and Phenomenological Aspects'.

I remember being ecstatic after mine, but only for 1 day. Very next day I got in a car accident ... just a fender bender, but it sure brought my mood back down to Earth.
An oral defense is a formal presentation and discussion of a scientific research project or thesis. It is typically required as the final step in completing a graduate degree, and involves presenting the findings of your research to a panel of experts in your field.
The length of an oral defense can vary, but it usually lasts between 1-2 hours. This includes a presentation of your research, followed by a question and answer session with the panel of experts.
During an oral defense, you will be expected to give a presentation on your research, highlighting the key findings and conclusions. The panel of experts will then ask you questions and engage in a discussion about your research. They may also provide feedback and suggestions for future studies.
To prepare for an oral defense, you should thoroughly review and practice your presentation, as well as anticipate potential questions from the panel. It is also important to have a deep understanding of your research and be able to defend your findings and conclusions.
The common outcomes of an oral defense are passing with no revisions, passing with minor revisions, or failing. If you pass with minor revisions, you will typically be given a set amount of time to make the required changes before your final defense. If you fail, you may be given the opportunity to redo the defense at a later date.
