The minute hand of the famous Doomsday Clock will be moved at 3pm tomorrow afternoon, for the first time in two years.
The timepiece in New York conveys how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction, which is represented by midnight.

The clock has been altered 18 times since then by the Bulletin's scientific board. This now includes Professor Stephen Hawking and 18 other Nobel laureates.
The latest recorded time was two minutes to midnight in 1953 as the Cold War heated up between the U.S and Soviet Union.

i think they need to upgrade to a digital Doomsday clock :hmm:

Join us for a live streaming of the event from the New York Academy of Sciences featuring a question and answer session open to you, the online audience.

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

Doomsday Clock = Pointless

What is the time proportional to? Was 12:01AM the beginning of time? Beginning of Earth? Beginning of civilized man? Beginning of my chordle?
