PhysicsOverflow is a next-generation academic platform for physicists and astronomers, including a community peer review system and a postgraduate-level discussion forum analogous to MathOverflow.

Welcome to PhysicsOverflow! PhysicsOverflow is an open platform for community peer review and graduate-level Physics discussion.

Please help promote PhysicsOverflow ads elsewhere if you like it.

What should be our contained in our message, sent per email to newly registered users? A preliminary text is made here, but please help improve and complete it ...

Welcome to this question and answer site about advanced Physics, from graduate-level and beyond, including Theoretical Physics, Phenomenology, Experimental Physics, and Astronomy. On-topic subtopics will include String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, String Phenomenology, advanced Quantum Field Theory, Experimental Techniques, etc and for Physicists relevant Mathematical Topics.

If you want to know about physics at a simplified popular level, you can ask here
http://www.quora.com/

for more introductary than graduate level physics, you can go here
http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions

Purely mathematical questions that do not have to be of interest for physicists are discussed here
http://math.stackexchange.com/questions

or at research-level here
http://mathoverflow.net/

Thanks for your registration !

[DONE]    

I think that instead of alerting all users wishing to ask and answer popular-level questions to the pop-sci proposal, we could link to quora. The pop-sci proposal is unlikely to succeed anyway, and  it doesn't exist yet. Even if it succeeds, it is' going to take years, and most popular question askers want answers right away : )
