<p>Welcome to Scientific Speculation! We're glad you're here. The following information is relevant primarily within this
community. If you have a question that applies to the entire Codidact family of communities, you may want to look
at our <a href="/help/codidact-faq">Global FAQ</a> or <a href="https://writing.codidact.com/help/tos">Global TOS</a>. </p>
<h2 id="what-is-sitename-all-about-">What is this site all about?</h2>
<p>Scientific Speculation is for questions that arise from worldbuilding and other speculative developments that can be extrapolated from science. We focus here on *plausible science* in all its myriad forms, including extrapolating to developments that haven't happened yet. Topics don't have to be *real* but they have to be *realistic*. Faster-than-light travel, shapeshifters, life on other worlds? All fine. Pure magic with no science-based rules? Not a good fit.</p>
