Hi all. I've lurked around PF for awhile enough to realize real physics discussions go on here. Love it. I myself am an informed layman at best, who loves physics and math, but that love isn't returned - I was just never smart enough to do the real work beyond ideas.
I publish a couple non-sci-fi online magazines (won't mention them because I don't want you to think I'm selling something here.) I'm considering starting up a new Sci Fi site and would like your feedback.
There are numerous sci-fi and fantasy sites obviously, and many of those are good to great. BUT I'm wondering if there is a niche for a venue that focuses on hard sci fi only. No fantasy, no zombies, no nearly naked wo/men in the artwork, etc. I'm talking hard sci fi based on real ideas where if you take away the ideas, you've got nothing. Movies like Contact, Interstellar, 2001, etc. are examples of what I'm thinking, except in story form.
What do you think about this? I'm thinking it would feature limited stories (i.e. not just a story mill of anything remotely sciencey), possibly reviews of either hard sci fi movies, and or books, but also interviews with working scientists.
I appreciate your time in reading this far, and look forward to reading your feedback.
