We avoided the end of the world. The doomsday clock, imagined in 1947 by THE Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group of American experts and scientists created by Albert Einstein, remains set at 90 seconds from midnight, this group announced on Tuesday January 23.
Each year, he transforms political turbulence, wars, natural disasters or technological advances into mathematical formulas. And, depending on the results, he moves the hands of this rather special clock forward or back. The end of time is arbitrarily set at midnight.
In 2023, the setting remained the same as in 2022, at a level of proximity to the symbolic end of the world never before reached. In particular, the “Growing dangers of war in Ukraine”which increase “the nuclear danger” And “undermine global efforts to combat climate change” due to increased investments in natural gas.
