How long do we have before humanity destroys itself? We will soon find out, as scientists from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are set to unveil the 2023 Doomsday Clock on Tuesday.
The Doomsday Clock is a visual representation of how close mankind is to self-annihilation, where midnight represents the eruption of a total global catastrophe. The clock is updated every year by members of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board to reflect whether the events of the past 12 months have pushed humanity closer or further away from destruction.
Since 2020, the Doomsday Clock has sat at 100 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. But there is speculation that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and President Vladimir Putin‘s persistent threats of nuclear war over the past year, may have pushed us even closer to midnight.
