Opinion The Doomsday Clock was 89 seconds to midnight in January, 2025. What do you suppose it would be now?

[Leonard Haid]

The Doomsday Clock is updated once a year by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists team, which includes nine Nobel laureates. Wonder if they'll do a biannual special this year.

Clocks are for girls.

Clocks are a confidence trick invented by the Swiss. The trained mind does not need a watch.

It should be set at 12 noon per weaponry.

Doomsday will come when the planet is uninhabitable through geological issues. On that score, I'd say it's maybe 10 pm?

They should rename it Zeno's clock.

It could move 50% towards midnight every year and it will still take an infinite number of years to get to midnight.

That doomsday clock is such a dumb concept

 

[Rhood]

What's the purpose of the Doomsday clock?
Is it to scare people into constructing Doomsday bunkers?
And then selling it to suckers like Mark Zuckerberg?

What does that have to do with Trump being brought up in a thread that isn't about him?

That doomsday clock is such a dumb concept

Why do you think so?

 

[Croo67]

Woke nonsense.
