Of the suggestions I've seen, I like 'scientific worldbuilding' the best. However, Mithrandir has raised some concerns that this focuses on the worldbuilding aspect, on a site where we're inviting people to speculate on scientific scenarios without necessarily any worldbuilding in mind. The key here is to find a replacement for worldbuilding. My suggestion: # Scientific Creativity - OR - Creative Science. The second option could be taken wrong, but the first is a bit of a mouthful. The idea here is that we want to convey two things: that we are very centered on science, but also that we are very centered on speculation. It's been determined that 'speculation' invites the wrong assumptions, so we need to come up with an equivalent. Words like 'design' or 'contruct' all suggest building something, which is close to the same problem we have with 'worldbuilding'. 'Creativity' however simply suggests imaginative production. Thoughts?
