doomsday clock n. a clock imagined as signalling the end of the world, symbolically at the stroke of midnight; (in later use) spec. a notional clock on which the relative proximity to midnight indicates the current likelihood of an impending man-made catastrophe causing the destruction of the world.The idea of the specific notional clock was first introduced and represented in 1947 on the cover of the June edition of the Bull. Atomic Scientists, when the time was set at seven minutes to midnight. The time has been moved back and forth since then, typically according to the increased or decreased likelihood of nuclear war, and more recently according to the dangers posed by unchecked climate change.
