Thank you!
I am skeptical, but let's see what happens!

What the Hell? This is so cool! Wish my physics teacher had done cool stuff like this
So, our physics teacher has the strange idea of motivating his students by letting each of us present a physical phenomenal we find interesting to our classmates in a 5-minutes-presentation. And now I need something that is interesting for everyone - even people that usually don't care for physics -, but has interesting facts for someone who's interested in it, too (preferably with an easy experiment). You don't happen to have any ideas, do you?
First of all, your professor is awesome for taking the time to do this. Of the top of my mind, the best one I have is Chladni figures.
Basically take a flat metal plate, fix it at the center and spray some fine sand particles on it.
Using a violin bow, gently excite any edge of the plate to magically witness these beautiful normal mode patterns ( known as Chladni patterns/figures ) forming on the plate.
Also notice that by pinching the plate at different points, the pattern obtained changes.
There is a whole lot of physics that goes behind such a simple phenomenon and I dare say we understand it completely. There are lots of questions on these figures that we have no answer for!
Hope this helps with your presentation. Have a good one!

Fresh perspective (for me, at least) on my loathsome lack of flawlessness
Gotta keep moving or the other part will catch me...
High-functioning anxiety sounds like…
You’re not good enough. You’re a bad friend. You’re not good at your job. You’re wasting time. You’re a waste of time. Your boyfriend doesn’t love you. You’re so needy. What are you doing with yourself? Why would you say that? What if they hate it? Why can’t you have your shit together? You’re going to get anxious and because you’re going to get anxious, you’re going to mess everything up. You’re a fraud. Just good at faking it. You’re letting everybody down. No one here likes you.
All the while, it appears perfectly calm.
It’s always looking for the next outlet, something to channel the never-ending energy. Writing. Running. List-making. Mindless tasks (whatever keeps you busy). Doing jumping jacks in the kitchen. Dancing in the living room, pretending it’s for fun, when really it’s a choreographed routine of desperation, trying to tire out the thoughts stuck in your head.
Currently paying for 2 kids in college and, yeah... getting those "gift" requests. Yet I can only be a little annoyed, considering how badly they've been defunded. I'm tired.
Wow... so true.
What if you kept a chainsaw in your bedroom instead of a gun? Imagine the fear that would enter an intruders mind hearing that?
Just had an online Dr appointment (meds check-up). Made me feel like a criminal trying to get away with something. Sheesh! If they had to deal with me off my meds, they'd be showering me with those little pills, slipping extras into my coffee, duct taping them to my arms in hopes of attaining continual baseline dosing...
I am fierce, majestic, and the epitome of stealth...
Orange ball!! ORANGE BALL!!
Thank you!
People now are like, “Your right to free speech doesn’t mean you can express an offensive opinion” Like what the fuck does right to free speech mean, then?
