Scientists Set Doomsday Clock at Two-Minutes to Midnight
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz January 30, 2018
“Man’s haughty look shall be brought low, And the pride of mortals shall be humbled. None but Hashem shall be Exalted in that day.” Isaiah 2:11
Scientists from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Science and Security Board have set the Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to two minutes before midnight, the most dire setting since the US and the Soviet Union stood poised for nuclear apocalypse at the height of the cold war.
“We’ve made the clear statement that we feel the world is getting more dangerous,” said Lawrence Krauss, chair of the Bulletin’s Board of Sponsors and director of Arizona State University’s Origins Project at a press conference on Thursday. “The danger of nuclear conflagration is not the only reason the clock has been moved forward.”
“The greatest risks last year arose in the nuclear realm,” he added. “North Korea’s nuclear weapons program appeared to make remarkable progress in 2017, increasing risks for itself, other countries in the region, and the United States.”
The Bulletin was founded in 1947 by a group of researchers, some of whom had participated in the Manhattan Project that produced the first nuclear bomb and were cognizant of the destructive power of the weapons they helped to create. The scientists set up the Bulletin as a means of warning the public about the consequences of using these weapons.
