For those who do not travel to Area 51 often there is an interesting new proposal [Scientific Imagination: Proposed Q&A site for the people who are interested in questions involving imaginary scenarios and scientific, educational, and fun answers for those questions. ](area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/75912/…)
