Doomsday Clock

 

  

 
   

The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making.

It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.

Nuclear bombing by the United States the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki terrorist action

The Doomsday Clock's origin can be traced to the international group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists. After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they began publishing the magazine, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

 
 

When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons.

The clock is a metaphor for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technological advances.

The Bulletin considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.
