For nearly 80 years scientists have indicated how close the world is to global catastrophe using the ‘Doomsday Clock’. The idea began to warn humanity behind the dangers of nuclear war with midnight marking the theoretical point of annihilation. Scientists hope it will alert the public and pressure leaders to make the world a safer place.
