I have to do a physics report on the science involved in a novel and compare it to a realistic concept. it can be any form of science bio, chem, but needs some physics. what I'm asking for is some good book titles. thank you. an example would be Aldous Huxley Brave New World
 
Check out any title by Dean Ing. He's a former aerospace engineer and university professor with a doctorate in communication theory. He's written numerous Sci-Fi books and incorporates known and theoretical science in all of his novels. I suggest his Quantrill trilogy or, at least, the 1st book in the series called Systemic Shock.
 
a wrinkle in time is a good one. 1984 always a good. dune in there also, I Robot. Fahrenheit 451, slaughterhouse 5, there is just a boat load. coma, not a bad book also.

I was about to suggest Slaughterhouse 5. Especially if you enjoy history and different perceptions of time/space. Plus Kurt Vonnegut has a great writing style. So it goes.

If you can find a book related to deep space travel you'll find lots of information on relatively and its effect on space travel.
Or a book on time travel. Again I'm sure you'll have no issue finding information on causality and relatively related to time travel.
Also any book related nuclear war. I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding information on how nuclear weapons work and how they effect the world.

I'm not a big reader so I can't help you find titles but I am a 4th year physics major and there should be plenty information floating around involving these concepts.

thank you for the titles! I've read slaughterhouse five and 1984 so I can't do them again. I was looking into dystopia novels when I can across them again, since I have read I can't do it again. thanks for the other title options, I'll look into them

you either like his style or you don't, I didn't like slaughterhouse but I enjoyed cats cradle
 
I would second Ringworld. Really, almost any Larry Nivens novel would probably work.
