While it's great to see a lot of discussion on science, I had my doubts about the AU idea primarily because there are a lot of things that we'd need to build from scratch.

I recall the original idea was to see if we could work together to build an improved faction. I can't recall the justification to building a setting from scratch compared to taking say an established minor fiction and working on it together as a community. There was talk of "it would be easier to start fresh" that was a justification. it would be tidier maybe, but this idea involves building an entire setting - physics and all - from the ground up.
