As of January 2024, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, an independent, nonprofit organisation, has set the Doomsday Clock at 90 seconds to midnight.

The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for 76 years, but on Tuesday, it was set at 90 seconds until midnight, the closest to the hour it has ever been. The midnight has a symbolic meaning - representing the point of annihilation.
