It think the site is an interesting exercise. If nothing else to show that science fiction doesn't have to happen like we might think it does. There is no space elevator, but 1 million people in the air at any given time. There is no matrix, but many lifetimes have been spent in World of Warcraft. Reality doesn't need to switch context for things to change, which is often what science fiction does.
