So here's the deal - I am applying for this special program at the university I am going to study at, and the next stage is to prepare a 10 minutes lecture about a scientific / technology / engineering subject. The shmucks in charge of this program printed the letters on May 9th but I only got it today, so now I only have a week to prepare this instead of a month. Even worse, I have three final exams this week (bible, math and physics). So I'm terribly stressed.
Anyway - I read the science fair thread but that's not exactly what I'm after. I need a subject to discuss in 10 minutes, followed by another 10 minutes of Q&A session. The subject needs to extremely small, nothing big like string theory or quantum computing. Just as an example, a friend of mine who did this last year talked about finding the location of an object using a system of several radio antennas. Didn't win him Nobel prize, but he got into the program.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. The subject should be interesting and intriguing rather than dull and boring, to make it interesting for both the listeners and myself. The sooner I pick a subject the sooner I can go and find books and information about it.
Many thanks,
