Doomsday Clock 2024: How close are we to total annihilation will be revealed tomorrow

Is there no future for the human race? We'll find out tomorrow when the Doomsday Clock is updated for 2024, a symbolic event that moves closer to midnight to symbolise worldwide calamities caused by humans.

The Doomsday Clock has been set at ninety seconds to midnight since last year, according to Daily Mail.

If the clock advances and approaches midnight (in contrast to the previous year's setting), it implies that humanity is getting closer to annihilation.

However, if it retreats, away from midnight, it indicates that, over the previous 12 months, humankind has lessened the likelihood of a global disaster.

Some years, like 2021 and 2022, see no movement at all of the clock's hands, indicating that nothing has changed on a global scale.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a Chicago-based charity that publishes an academic journal, sets the time.

The US artist Martyl Langsdorf was commissioned to create a fresh cover for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists publication in June 1947, which is when the Doomsday Clock first appeared.

First editor Eugene Rabinowitch stated that the organisation's goal in using a startling image on the journal cover was to "frighten men into logic".
