Scientists have created “doomsday clock”, or doomsday clock, loosely translated. It was designed to warn the planet of the risks of the apocalypse.

According to the analysis of scientists, the closer the arrows were to midnight, the closer the end of the world. According to scientists, the world is 90 seconds from its end. It was the closest time the doomsday clock approached midnight since its inception in 1947.

For scientists, the main factor was Russia’s threats to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Information taken from CNN.

Understand how clocks work

The Doomsday Clock was created after World War II when scientists, including Albert Einstein, began to worry about an arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union.

It’s nothing more than a marketing idea to spark discussion, but it’s not an accurate measure of how much time is left in the world.

Hand positions are determined by complex mathematical calculations that measure the likelihood of catastrophic events. Nuclear wars, epidemic diseases and climate change are just some of the examples.

When he started counting, it was seven minutes to midnight on the clock. It had already reached two minutes for the end of the world during the nuclear tensions in 1953, and with the end of the Cold War, it returned to 17 minutes.

At the beginning of this century, with multiple climate changes and nuclear threats from North Korea, clocks hit 100 seconds before midnight in 2021 and 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the risks of a new arms race.
