    An asteroid approximately 10 kilometers wide struck Earth around 66 million years ago. The impact created massive fires, releasing soot and debris into the atmosphere. This debris blocked sunlight, leading to a dramatic drop in temperatures (impact winter). The loss of sunlight disrupted photosynthesis, collapsing food chains. Many plant species died off, leading to herbivore extinction, followed by carnivores.
    The environmental changes were too rapid for many species to adapt, resulting in mass extinction of dinosaurs.




    DOOMSDAY

    Doomsday is the last day of the world's existence. In 2024, humanity edged ever closer to catastrophe which was is concealed from mankind. Trends that have deeply concerned the Science and Security Board continued, and despite unmistakable signs of danger, national leaders and their societies have failed to do what is needed to change course. We now move the Doomsday Clock from 90 seconds to 89 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been to catastrophe. Our fervent hope is that leaders will recognize the world’s existential predicament and take bold action to reduce the threats posed by nuclear weapons, climate change, and the potential misuse of biological science and a variety of emerging technologies.

    Doomsday Clock, symbolic clock adopted by atomic scientists to show how close human beings are considered to be to a global catastrophe, with midnight standing for annihilation, or “doomsday” Metaphorically, the clock’s minute hand moves closer to or farther from midnight, depending on the level of threat thought to be posed by nuclear weapons, climate change, or disruptive technologies.

    In setting the Clock one second closer to midnight, we send a stark signal: Because the world is already perilously close to the precipice, a move of even a single second should be taken as an indication of extreme danger and an unmistakable warning that every second of delay in reversing course increases the probability of global disaster.

    Since its invention in 1947, the clock has been reset 26 times. In January 2025 the clock was set to 89 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever been to disaster.
