With the perception of the world grabbing its hand basket for the trip to h-e-double hockey sticks do you think the doomsday clock should be closer to midnight? As I understand it, the clock is changed as the world changes.

en.wikipedia.org...

www.thebulletin.org...

Or do you think that at this point the news we hear is sooo far into the war mongering as to be unreliable?

So heres the question... with recent events.. should the time be advanced closer to midnight? I'm just thinking about NK, swine flu, Pak, Afganistan, Iraq, Iran the list goes on, maybe the clock should be brought 'up to speed' so to speak?

ps.. thank you to xxpigxx for helping me find the name of the clock, and silo13 for the encouragement to start a new thread. Hugs to ya both.

5 minutes? I wouldnt say were at 5 minutes. I mean it seems bad, but even if nk launches nukes, they have what? 3, 4 maybe. and i dont think the war would go much past that because nk would be extinct and if they had started it, well they did with breaking the armistice, but no one would probably back them if they attack. so doomsday wouldnt happen as a result.



Unless if by doomsday they mean an attack with nukes, then were at like 30 seconds.

I watched a movie last night (The Day the Earth Stood Still) and a quote really made me think...

"It is on the brink that we change"

I think thats very true. I also dont think NK will nuke anyone because Kim is not as crazy as he pretends he is. But everything together is a little overwhelming.

I didn't mean to infer that the Doomsday Clock was attached to any kind of prophecy. I was speaking on the human condition, and its apparent attachment to prophecy (i.e. Revelations, 2012 and the Maya, etc.). Sorry for the confusion.

The link in the OP says it was started after WWII, when the cold war, threats of nuclear holocaust began, and tensions were at their highest. It also mentioned that setting the clock is relativly arbitrary, and decided by a group of atomic scientists, based on global affairs. I have to remain skeptical about atomic scientists and their insights into global affairs. Global geopolitics just doesn't seem like it would be a forte of an atomic scientist, IMO, so, how could an arbitrary setting from these men carry any merit? Maybe they have an inside source, IDK, just seems like a bunch of PR hype and hogwash to me.

P.S. Sorry if I'm pouring water on your thread, I'll leave now.

My apologies, I reread your post and now I see what you were saying. Sorry.

I guess it really is an arbitrary decision by the scientists, and you are right it could be just total crap. It could also just seem that way on the surface. I wish I knew more about it.

IMHO, I think we look for ansers in prophecy because we are looking for our place in the 'timeline' and the universe as a whole. And maaybe some are just ready for an end to the anticipation. For me personally, I am interested because it show the ever widening options we have.



P.S. dont leave.
