Thought Experiment

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.

Please note, sometimes the group meets at The Oxford Scholar, sometimes at Fathers Office QV, so double check socials when booking.
