Doomsday clock is a symbolic clock face, representing a countdown to possible global catastrophe.

The Clock is a metaphor for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technical advances.
The closer the Clock is to midnight, the closer the world is to global disaster.
The most recent officially announced setting, just minutes to midnight, indicates the world's vulnerability to catastrophe
from nuclear war, climate change, and disruptive technologies in other domains.
Explore the meaning behind the symbolic Doomsday Clock and its reflections on global events,
