LHC experiments need innovation to squeeze every single drop of performance from their current and future detectors. Enabling such innovation requires a lot of time and focus, and can benefit from exchanges with experts working in other areas or groups.

By making order-of-magnitude calculations and systemic impact assessments, they were able to look at societal systems in a holistic and comprehensive manner. This perspective allowed them to consider possible ripple effects or unintended consequences of their actions and ideas.

In their second week, they embarked on a thought-experiment, lifting their lenses from Earth and travelling to an Earth-like exoplanet to envision how a society might function there. They focused on the survival phase at landing.
