Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. When it was originally introduced in 1947 the clock symbolized how close the world was to nuclear war, with the metaphor supporting it being: talks have broken down, and once midnight hits, the attacks start. And we are all doomed. But since the fall of the Iron Curtain, the original metaphor is (mostly) obsolete, and it has expanded to catastrophic destruction of any sort, provided it's on a global scale; the Bulletin's website specifically mentions global warming and bioengineering as possible causes in addition to nuclear war. The Doomsday Clock is a very real and very eerie example of When the Clock Strikes Twelve and as such, it has received nods by several works. |
