On January 23, 2020, the Doomsday Clock was reset to 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) before midnight. Midnight on the clock symbolises the end of the world. Over the years, the clock’s hands have moved forwards and backwards as the threats to the world changed. But they have never been this close to midnight before.
The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock that represents the likelihood of a man-made apocalypse. It warns humanity of how close the world is to catastrophe every year. The concept is simple – the closer the time is to destruction. The Doomsday Clock is a universally recognised metaphor.
