Doomsday Clock

　

科學家用來計算人類離世界末日還有多久的類比式時鐘

很酷

隔幾年還會隨著時勢調整指針的位置

　

狀況最好的一次在1991年

聯合國和蘇維埃簽署戰略武器減量條約

只不過顯然樂觀得太早



'91年的17分鐘　'95年的14分鐘

逐年逼近到'98年的9分鐘　'02年的7分鐘

今年甚至只剩下5分鐘而已...

　



　

Exactly how close are we to the end of days? The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists recently reset the Doomsday Clock indicating how close the world is to nuclear Armageddon. The hand was pushed to five minutes before midnight、due to the nuclear ambitions of Iran and N. Korea and ecological concerns such as global warming. The clock has moved forward and back since 1947、when it was first set at seven minutes to midnight. Scientists deemed the world safest in 1991、adjusting the clock to 11:43 p.m. That was better than 1953、when we were just two minutes from the world's end.
