My advice is to go anywhere, look at the nearby patterns, and then think about them. What do people here walk by every day that is absolutely fascinating?
Perhaps an example: the other day I was waiting for a pizza, and so I naturally noticed that the gas inside some of the neon lights seemed to be forming a pattern, as if there were bubbles. In some places the bubbles moved or vibrated quickly, and in other places the bubbles were stationary.
Quick inspection showed that the bubbles were stationary near the ends and near joins in the glass, which was interesting. Placing my hand near the glass kept the bubbles stationary. Noise levels or tapping didn’t seem to change the behavior of the bubbles. Since this is a thread about originality, I guess I won’t share my guesses.
I’m reminded of the “Surely You Must be Joking, Mr. Feynman” story that starts with him working out the physics of a spinning dinner tray for fun. The story ends with him winning a Nobel prize.
