Suggestion for presentation topic

AI Thread Summary
For the upcoming workshop presentation aimed at a diverse audience, including non-physicists, several engaging topics were suggested. "Domains in Ferromagnetic Materials" was initially considered but may not resonate with those lacking a physics background. Instead, topics that consistently capture interest include the nature of quantum objects, time dilation and its implications, black holes, the concept of dividing by zero, the size and shape of the universe, the uncertainty principle, and entanglement in quantum computing. Given the audience's varied educational backgrounds, focusing on the size and shape of the universe could be particularly appealing, as it combines fundamental concepts with broader implications that can engage students from various disciplines.

I have to prepare a presentation for my workshop kindly suggest me a topic that you think will be more interesting, also for those who are non physicists as their will be non physicists students also:gradcap::gradcap:.:book::book: i think of preparing on "Domains in Ferromagnetic Materials" for me which is most interesting and easy topic but this topic seems less interesting for those who do not know even about basic physics o0):sorry:

Which level of education do your students have?
What are always running topics here:
- why are quantum objects neither waves nor particles
- time dilation at relativistic velocities, e.g. why can we observe myons in the atmosphere
- everything about black holes
- why can't we divide by 0
- size (and shape) of the universe
- uncertainty principle
- entanglement and quantum computing

Its a B.Ed program workshop, there may be students of BS, MSc english. Maths, Education Bio, Chemistry and of other subjects also.. Size and shape of Universe an Interesting one :smile:

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
