The clock belongs to The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (BAS), and experts stress that the indication of stability in the time we have left…until the end, is not necessarily good.
The Apocalypse Clockthe famous hypothetical gauge that shows on a symbolic level how long it will take humanity to destroy itself, has moved its pointers again this year with humanity once again able to perceive how close we are to oblivion.
Right now, the clock is 90 seconds to midnight.
The time to midnight was reduced by ten seconds, having previously been stuck for 3 years at 100 seconds.
The above implies that not only has our world not become safer, in the past year, which is also reasonably understandable if we take into account the developments at the global level, but our time is running out and we are steadily heading towards destruction with only 1, 5 seconds separates us from the “end”.
The clock belongs to The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (BAS), and experts stress that the indication of stability in the time we have left…until the end, is not necessarily good.
“Stability is not good news,” Professor Sharon Squassoni from the Institute for International Policy Science and Technology has explained.
“We are stuck in a dangerous moment, which brings neither stability nor security.”
It is noted how the clock has never been closer to midnight than it is now.
The Doomsday Clock – intended as a way of keeping track of the peril humanity is in – got its annual makeover this year with the 13 award-winning scientists calculating the ‘hour’ left until doomsday, take into account Russia’s war- Ukraine, biothreats, nuclear proliferation, the ongoing climate crisis, government disinformation campaigns and disruptive technologies.
Since 1947, nuclear scientists and other experts have acted as timekeepers for the Doomsday Clock.
A group of consultants, researchers and policy experts with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) annually assesses the state of the world to decide whether the hands of the clock will move forward, turn back or stay where they are.
