Doomsday Clock

The Doomsday Clock represents the likelihood that a human-caused global catastrophe will occur.

The clock’s midnight represents a fictitious worldwide calamity.

The Chicago Atomic Scientists, an international organisation of researchers, are responsible for the creation of the Doomsday Clock.

The Clock made its debut in 1947.

A deeper meaning exists for midnight than only the ongoing danger of war.

The scientists from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists make decisions based on a variety of factors.

On January 24, 2018, based on threats, scientists changed the time to two minutes to midnight.

The clock was changed to 100 seconds on January 23, 2020.

The Clock was moved to 90 seconds before midnight on January 24, 2023.
