Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
The Doomsday Clock is a symbol that represents the likelihood of a human-made global catastrophe. Maintained since 1947, the clock is a metaphor for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technological advances. As of 2024, it sits at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been.
