Popis: Solving many challenges in dealing with complexity requires a collective effort, including in interdisciplinary projects. Two types of problems arise here, one of which is associated with the development of a special methodology and a general interdisciplinary conceptual and functional language of communication between different disciplines, which is facilitated by the use of the languages of mathematics, the systems approach and synergetics, but not only; the second problem of collective creativity is the development of a unified joint style of generating new information, which is largely associated with the implicit knowledge that is born in scientific schools. In this regard, we consider the scientific schools of theoretical physics and large communities of mega-projects and intelligent mega-machines in high-energy physics, primarily using the example of the “Golden Ageˮ of the history of Russian science in the 80s of the last century in Protvino. Their connection with the social climate, political expectations, the worldview of scientists, the formation of a physicist in the process of education and life in a research team is considered. International trends in collective creativity and nation-al features of the existence of scientific schools are discussed in the context of an international mega-project to create a standard model of elementary particle physics. Three types of theorizing are considered, which date back to the creators of modern science, but are reproduced in each era, in each successive international mega-project. They are based on various forms and combinations of the dominance of formal-logical and empirical thinking. The question about the prospects for theoretical research in the digital era of artificial intelligence is raised.
