It used to be this once-in-a-century type of event and now they are happening all the time. This is all unprecedented but it\u2019s becoming normalized and people are getting used to it,\u201d said University of Chicago astrophysicist Daniel Holz, \u00a0a member at the Bulletin Science and Security Board.<\/p>\n<p>Staying at two minutes to midnight is a warning of potential apocalypse that all humanity is facing, he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People that study this see many scenarios that are very frightening,&#8221; said Holz. &#8220;It&#8217;s very easy to see how we slide from where we are now to into this terrible place and we just can&#8217;t assume that is going to be okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The message the Bulletin clock conveys to global political leaders, scientists and other decision-makers is clear: act immediately and responsibly before it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope they would look at these large forces that are burying down on civilizations and begin to come to grips with them,\u201d said Benedict. \u201cThe Doomsday Clock is a way of trying to wake people up and get them to pay attention to longer-term issues which have the unfortunate characteristics of being able to really end our civilizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The clock was set at two minutes last year due to \u201creckless approaches toward nuclear weapons and a growing disregard for the expertise needed to address today\u2019s biggest challenges, most importantly climate change,&#8221; according to the Bulletin statement.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists<\/em> was established in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists who believed humanity must monitor and control the use of nuclear power. Since its invention in 1947, the Doomsday Clock had been reset back and forth 23 times. The clock strikes its minutes as a symbolic metaphor for measuring distance between current and potential human destruction caused by nuclear wars, climate change and information warfare.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top:\u00a0 <em>The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists<\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announced Thursday that the Doomsday Clock remains set at at two minutes to midnight.
