Doomsday Clock: 89 Seconds to Midnight

In 2025, humanity has come closer than ever to global catastrophe: the Doomsday Clock has been set to 89 seconds to midnight, the shortest time in its history.
What’s this clock all about? In simple terms, it’s a symbolic measure of how close humanity is to destroying itself — through nuclear war, climate disasters, and other existential threats. The closer the clock is to "midnight," the greater the danger.

The clock is maintained by scientists at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, who assess global risks. This year, their decision was driven by:
escalating geopolitical conflicts;
the growing threat of nuclear weapons;
the worsening climate crisis.

These 89 seconds are a stark warning: it’s time to reflect on where we’re heading. Do you think humanity can turn back the clock, or is it already too late?
