A panel of scientists and scholars said Thursday they believe the world is as close as it has ever been to a so-called doomsday scenario.

"It is with considerable concern that we set the time of the 2018 doomsday clock and offer a plea to rewind the doomsday clock," said Bulletin of Atomic Scientists President and CEO Rachel Bronson. "As of today, it is two minutes to midnight."

The last time the clock was so close to midnight was in 1953, when the US and the Soviet Union were engaged in a nuclear arms race.

it doesn't really matter since that clock is capable of being moved backwards and if it actually strikes "midnight" we'll all be dead so nobody will be around to change it.

Why is the popular phrase "2 minutes to midnight" instead of 1 minute?

I would only agree that a symbolic clock is as nourishing to the intellect as a photograph of oxygen to a drowning man.
