I have 20 days to write a big science report. I need to choose the topic on my own, based on interest. I need suggestions for this topic.

It needs to be something a year-12 high schooler can comprehend, though it must require serious thought to do so. It needs to combine theory from physics and math.

I would love some opinions on interesting things to devote 20 days to researching and/or understanding. I'm interested in math and physics in general, and also in programming and computer security.

What is it that makes you rage over the word "big"? Does it remind you of how small a certain body part of yours is?

Yeah, this troll was pretty obvious. Everyone knows these theories cannot be combined. They contradict each other.

>> No.5075706

he's saying that they're already combined you fucking child

>>5075706
In HS, physics != math
It doesn't matter either way, even if they're combined then that's great.

>> No.5075716

>>5075706
How can they be combined? They are entirely incompatible. Math means constructing and rigorously proving theory from abstract axioms while physics is based on observation, experiment and inductive reasoning.

It forms a parabola-shaped cone, so there is no specific slope

This angle of repose thing is cool.
known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material

If you want to be reeeally fancy, you can explain special relativity the way Einstein thought of it: riding on a bike alongside a beam of light.
