The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is to announce whether the time of the iconic ‘Doomsday Clock’ on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 in Washington, DC.
In January 2024, the Doomsday Clock was reset at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest to midnight the clock has ever been.
The Bulletin, stewards of the Doomsday Clock, will announce the 2025 time at a live news conference at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). The decision to set the clock is made by the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board (SASB) in consultation with its board of sponsors, which includes nine Nobel Laureates.
The Doomsday Clock is a metaphor for how close humanity is to self-annihilation, and it serves as a call to action to find solutions to the world’s most urgent, man made existential threats in order to move the hands of the clock away from midnight.
We will bring you more on this next week.
