Doomsday Clock only 85 seconds away from midnight.
Digital Desk, New Delhi. The world's nuclear scientists have put the 'Doomsday Clock' i.e. the clock of doomsday in its most dangerous state till date. The clock is now only 85 seconds away from midnight, which is considered a sign that global destruction is very close.
The 'Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' organization said that the aggressive attitude of nuclear powered countries like America, Russia and China, weakening of nuclear arms control agreements, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, threats of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and climate change are the main reasons for this decision.

The organization said that the dangers are increasing due to the use of AI in military systems without control. AI can also be misused to create biological weapons and spread false information.
At the same time, problems related to climate change are becoming increasingly serious. The organization's president, Alexandra Bell, said the situation shows a failure of leadership around the world. He warned that increasing nationalist thinking and politics of showing power is leading humanity towards a bigger crisis.
What is Doomsday Clock, why is it a warning to the world?
The Doomsday Clock is not a real clock, but a symbol. It is designed to show how close man has come to destroying the world with his own hands. In this, midnight means global catastrophe, such as nuclear war or such a disaster from which human civilization cannot survive.
This clock was started in 1947 by an organization named 'Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists', which was formed by Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. The Doomsday Clock is set every year by a team of scientists and security experts.
They look at how things are in the world. If conditions worsen the clock is brought closer to midnight. If the world moves in a safer direction, the clock can be turned back. For example, after the Cold War, at one time the clock went as far as 17 minutes, which was considered the safest period.
