What is the Doomsday clock? And is everything accurate in the Doomsday clock?
And I could easily Google the answer but I'm going somewhere so I won't have time to search it.

It is an estimate by some people of how close the world is to global destruction.
Since by definition estimates are not exact, no it is not "accurate".

shroud say: bunch of people made it up - a clock face with 12 at the top and 15 minutes leading up to it
they look at world politics and decide where to put the hand - minutes from nuclear war
really they do this about the same way you guess how mad your friend parents would be when told he wrecked the car

Satan Claws say: It's a representation of political opinion, made easy so that more people understand because they don't have time to look at all the possible angles.

Nyx say: It's this. And you better hope that it's running fast.

Brilliant Answer say: Just like the homeless, you only hear about it when a Republican is in office. Wait until it starts getting cold in the autumn and there will be non-stop stories about the plight of the homeless. They didnt do any this year because tehy thought Hitlery was going to win.
The Doomsday Clock is the same garbage.

quantumclaustrophobe say: From google: The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic warning about how close the world stands to “midnight,” that is, nuclear or existential catastrophe. Since 1947, the Bulletin's scientists and security experts have updated it annually.
Essentially, its based on the judgement of certain people just how dangerous the world is getting...

say: A wild estimate of the state of the world and how far we are from potentially destroying ourselves (originally from global thermonuclear war which was all the rage in 1947 but remit now includes climate change).
Currently two and a half minutes to 12 midnight (from three minutes) following the trump election.
