The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a nonprofit organization made up of scientists and security leaders from around the world—including 13 Nobel Laureates—has moved the hands of its iconic Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds to midnight. Midnight on the clock is a metaphor for “global catastrophe,” and according to the international organization, humanity is now the closest it’s ever been to the brink of total destruction since the clock’s establishment in 1947.
