I think a much better name would be sci.physics.research, and it
would have to be moderated, though lightly. There is already a  
successful moderated group sci.math.research which could serve
as an example of how to encourage substantive discussions of current
research.

Yes, very few real physicists read sci.physics. Most have been driven
out by the crackpots.
