Thought Experiment

  • Free
  • Activity

Ever wondered how humanity would respond to an asteroid heading for Earth?

Welcome to the Thought Experiment – a new kind of meetup for curious minds of all kinds, exploring big What if…? scenarios in a fun but thoughtful way.

Each session will pick one scenario (from global crises to wild sci-fi situations) and work together to imagine solutions, strategies and possibilities.
