The end is nigh! Well at least it’s getting closer according to experts at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. They’re responsible for maintaining the symbolic Doomsday Clock, which represents how close we are to the end of the world.
Midnight on the Doomsday Clock symbolises a potential global catastrophe to come. Each year, the Bulletin non-profit has its say on how close the world is getting to that scenario, measured in minutes or seconds to midnight. And on 24th January 2023, sombre-looking members of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board unveiled the latest clock setting at a press conference.
