The Doomsday Clock was moved today by atomic scientists as was reset.
The clock was first established in 1947 in order to evaluates the "means humankind could use to obliterate itself" (such as nuclear weapons), and try to show how close human kind could ultimately lead its specie into catastrophic destruction or what we call the doomsday.
The Doomsday Clock has been moved 18 times in the past 65 years with the latest was in 2007.
Executive director of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists told online news site Politico that,
"We look at general scientific trends, gather experts in the fields of nuclear weapons, energy, climate change and life sciences, and we talk about the clock" Benedict said, saying the group of scientists discusses the clock twice a year. "And then when events warrant, we decide to move the handle."
