Does it ever move back? I mean, I've read this same article a half dozen times over the past 20 years or so and I keep wondering what kind of clock it is that is perpetually 5 mins. to midnight but can move two minutes forward all the time and yet NEVER REACH FREAKING MIDNIGHT?
- JasonFruit 9y agoIt's Zeno's doomsday clock. (It doesn't make the news when they move it back, because it's harder to take political advantage of baseless reassurance than baseless fear.)
- aerotwelve 9y agoYes, the clock has been moved back several times. There's a nice graph on Wikipedia that provides a nice overview that is worth taking a look at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock#/media/File%3ADoomsday_Clock_graph.svg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock#/media/File%3...
