Washington -Tuesday’s ominous “Doomsday Clock” reset, humanity is the closest to destroy himself. The symbolic clock goes from 89 seconds to midnight after proceeding 1 second before last year’s reset.
Currently, it is the closest at midnight since the introduction of a watch in 1947. It is updated by the breaking news of an atomic scientist.
Dan Holtz, the chairman of the Atomic Scientist Scientific Committee, said that the world was safer and less stable than a year ago.
“The weapon management treaty is tattered, and there are aggressive disputes, including nuclear power,” he said, and the incorrect information, false information, and conspiracy are “threats.”
The clock is intended as a comparison of how close human beings are, according to the kidnabu of atomic scientists. The group was established by the Chicago University scientist who supported the development of the first nuclear weapon of the Manhattan Project.
Nuclear, illness, AI fears the factor in the last clock reset in 2025
According to a member of the Board of the Council of the Air Power Research Center in New Delhi, the nuclear threats are particularly concerned this year, according to the famous fellow MANPREET SETHI.
“We are in a situation where weapons racing, the loss of guardrails, further growth, and the possibility of nuclear use are all rising,” she said.
In many cases, people think of nuclear weapons simply a normal weapon, but a bit more fatal. It is far from the case and is worried about the members of the Breaking Board of Directors.
“We are worried that we may be hooked on nuclear disasters,” she said.
SUZET McKinney, a member of Bulletin’s Science and Security and Life Science Director of Sterling, is in the area of illness in combination with an increase in artificial intelligence, in combination with an increase in artificial intelligence. There is another terrible threat. bay
“I learned that fraudulent actors can adopt AI technology to further proliferate these diseases, and that the whole country has the power to unlock social weapons in society for war or mere opinion. How do you feel? “
Even the world, even the US government, is engaged in practices to ensure such actions. She said this not only fires new illnesses, but also makes the ability to suppress human diffusion.
“I can’t hide my head in the sand,” she said.
What is the final clock?
Originally, the ominous clock measured the danger of nuclear disaster. In the past 20 years, three concerns have been added to climate change, artificial intelligence, incorrect and false information.
Every year, there are two questions for members of the Science and Security Committee.
Is humanity safer than last year, or is there a bigger risk this year? Is humanity safer than in 1978, or is there a greater risk?
Their answers will set a watch next year.
What does it mean from 89 seconds of 2025 to midnight to midnight?
Holtz said that the clock is only one second, but it is an important indicator of the danger of the world.
“One of the things you don’t want to do when you are in this cliff, is one step forward,” he said. “We say that we have not seen the necessary progress, considering what happened in the past year, and some of our concerns are getting worse, so the clock is. I’m moving forward.
The group warns that all hope has not been lost, but it is necessary to take action immediately.
“We may return to the front next year, not the front, but this only happens when the leader engages in a good dialogue.” Work for peace, justice, human rights, sustainable planets The elders who are independent groups of global leaders established by Nelson Mandela.
“We can succeed,” he said.
How did the final clock start?
(In 1945, on the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a scientist who was working on a Manhattan project, which built the world’s first atomic bomb, began publishing a MIMEOGRAPHED Newsletter called the Bulk of Nuclear Scientists.
Two years later, the same scientists were thinking about a world where two atomic weapons were used in Japan, so they discussed the threats to humanity, which were brought to the nuclear war.
“They were worried that we knew we were really worried how close we were approaching the end of life,” said Britain’s president and CEO. One Rachel Bronson said.
The Manhattan Project Physiologist Alexander Gangs Doff Junior and his wife, Martillang Doff, came up with an idea of a watch showing how close things were.
They called it the last clock.
“If I didn’t do anything, I chopped it in the middle of the night and gave me a sense of being able to experience an apocalypse,” said Bronson.
What do you represent during the end of the night?
Watches only see what humanity can do itself. There are no meteors in a hurry toward the earth. You will tweak the virus to make the virus more dangerous.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the threat of the nuclear war was imminent. Robert Sokoro, an emeritus professor of Machine Aerospace Engineering at the University of Princeton University, said that it was not very realistic, but has not disappeared.
“The nuclear threat is incredible that young people lived together, but now their practical assumptions are” I don’t need to worry about it. ” I did it. “But they do.”
Today’s dangers are slightly different from when the threats were mainly from the Soviet Union. Because we are not a non -state -related person such as terrorists, not part of the world order, but a country like North Korea that may be able to access dangerous weapons and pathogens.
Where is the nuclear threat?
The original end clock was related to the threat of nuclear disappearance. Until the second term of President Donald Trump, there is only one week, but the nuclear outlook is still unknown.
The world’s last remaining nuclear weapons control agreement -The expansion of nuclear warheads in the United States and Russia is not in stockpiling, but expired in early 2026.
The US commander told the World Economic Forum on Thursday, “I want to see denuclearization,” and said that he had discussed with Russian and Chinese leaders.
However, the appointment of the President, including the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hesces, is not very bullish in future weapons reduction. In a written response to the parliamentary’s policy question before his confirmation, Pentagon said, “The government stated that it should pursue weapons management for profits. 2020.”
North Korean nuclear weapons are a topic that has great concerns in the United States and overseas among Trump’s first administration, and has also raised safety and diplomatic issues.
