Wars, death and crisis of earth. The day of the judgment will be updated next week

Very soon, humanity knows whether we are approaching full self -destruction, whether people still have a chance. Last year, the day of the judgment was frozen at 90 seconds at midnight, but next week it has every chance to bring humanity closer to total self -destruction. The reason for this, researchers call wars and climatic catastrophes that the world faced, writes Daily Mail.

The day of the judgment is a symbolic count of time to midnight, in fact it is a reflection of how anthropogenic global catastrophes bring humanity closer to complete self -destruction. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel. Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! The day of the judgment is a symbolic clock that shows how close the world is to the anthropogenic global catastrophe that will destroy it.

Every year, the clock is updated on the basis of experts' opinion on how much humanity has come closer or departed from complete destruction ("midnight"). The closer the clock arrows to midnight, the closer the catastrophe coming to humanity. If the clock arrows, on the contrary, will be removed from midnight, it will mean that in the last year, humanity has managed to reduce risks.

However, in some years the arrows of the judgment of the judgment day did not move at all, which indicates the stability of the situation - so it was in 2021 and 2022. Time on a day of judgment day is established by a bulletin of atomic scientists-a non-profit organization based in Chicago and publishes an academic journal. It should be noted that the update of the day of judgment is a symbolic event, since the clock is not real.

However, when updating time, researchers still use a physical model to show whether the clock arrows were moving and if so. Every January, the ballot of the atomic scientists publishes an annual update of the judgment day. In 2024, the clock arrows will be updated at 10:00 on the Eastern standard time (15:00 by Greenwich) on Tuesday, January 23.

Transfer of arrows of the Judgment Day clock will also be shown in a direct broadcast on the YouTube channel and the Bulletin of the Atomic Sciences website. The day of the Judicial Day first appeared in June 1947, when American artist Martila Landorf was hired to develop a new cover of the newsletter "Bulletin of Authority Scientists". Then the organization wanted to use a vivid cover to scare and recall society.

It should be noted that all these events developed against the background of public fear around the atomic war and arms race, only two years after the end of World War II. Initially, the artist thought about the use of uranium symbol, but eventually stopped at the image of a clock with arrows that froze 7 minutes before midnight.

The organization continued to use the image of the clock for the following covers, adjusting the arrangement of the arrows depending on how much the world approached the disaster. In 2009, the ballot ceased its printed edition, but the clock is still updated once a year on its site. Initially, the decision to transfer the clock arrows was made by the editor of the newsletter Yudzhin Rabinovich.

However, after his death in 1973, this duty was assumed by the Science and Security Council, which included experts in nuclear technologies and climatologists. By the way, in recent years, the council included 13 Nobel Prize laureates. Last 2023, the arrows of the day of the judgment of the day were as close as possible to midnight - they froze 90 seconds before the end. According to experts, it was at this point that the world was in "unprecedented danger.

" At that time, experts called the full-scale invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine, as well as the threats of the Russian Federation to apply nuclear weapons against Ukraine and the Union countries. Another significant reason for the approach of the end of the world was called the climate change that humanity faced. This moment came in 1991, after the Cold War. Then the clock arrows were set at 17 minutes before midnight.

Researchers believe that on January 23, the arrows of the day of the judgment will not reach at midnight, as this would mean that humanity is on the verge of complete self -destruction. At the same time, experts believe that it will approach at midnight, since the war in Ukraine is not over, and at the same time more hot military points appeared in the world. In addition, in 2007, the newsletter began to take into account in his forecasts and the effects of climate change.
