💨 Abstract

The Doomsday Clock, a metaphor for global catastrophe, is now at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. This is due to threats like wars, climate change, and disruptive technologies. If the clock strikes midnight, it signifies irreversible global damage and the failure of institutions that stabilize civilization. Potential disasters include nuclear war, climate catastrophe, or AI-facilitated power grid collapse.
