The Doomsday Clock conveys how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction–the figurative midnight–and monitors the means humankind could use to obliterate itself. First and foremost, these include nuclear weapons, but they also encompass climate-changing technologies and new developments in the life sciences that could inflict irrevocable harm.

 

> That was the overview of what the DOOMSDAY CLOCK is from the bulletin of Atomic Scientists. I’m going to have the clock, with the hand directed at midnight symbolizing the nuclear apocalypse, tattooed on my upper back. It’s a symbol of time, doom, and the comic book Watchmen, which encompasses the doomsday theme. It’s a symbol I’ve come to adore so much :) besides that, midnight is my favorite hour and the concept of time itself has always captured me. so why not lol
