‘Doomsday Clock’ Is 90 seconds to midnight (aka total annihilation)
The Doomsday Clock is a metaphor for “how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making.”
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists — a scientific advocacy group — reset the world’s “Doomsday Clock” at a mere 90 seconds to midnight. The clock, created in 1947, is a symbol reflecting global instability and nuclear threat.
Reset talked to a UChicago professor to learn more about the history of the clock and how a time is picked every year.
