isn't is frightening? despite the movie is a comedy, the ending is all real film. I don't think humanity realizes how close we were/are from destroying each other..permanently.

far from it my friend

could u imagine iwhat a nuclear apocalypse would look like to people in the space station.....

The missile crisis happened in a few days, and soon after the immense danger, things actually became safer (America did remove a few rocket bases, which put the USSR at ease). The board of directors responsible for the clock probably planned to change the clock during the crisis, but since it was quickly resolved, they felt no need for it.

It's not the most accurate thing, I'll give you that. But it does serve as a nice illustration.

[Barack Obama]

the doomsday clock is a device meant to make officials and leaders afraid of their negative actions because they fail to see the possible very negative implications themselves. I don't really see it as an accurate portrayal of the current status at all.

The clock is rather inaccurate anyways. at the point of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world's countries were readying to blow each other up and the clock was set at 11:48 pm with no change until Vietnam. 11:59 would have been much better

[CaptainZepto]

The Doomsday Clock, which symbolically keeps track of how close we are to global disaster (originally just nuclear warfare, but nowadays environmental factors are weighed in as well) was actually higher back then (7-12 to midnight) than it is now (5 minutes to midnight).

Closest we've ever been was 1953, when the USSR and the USA sped up their thermonuclear bomb tests; back then, it stood at 2 minutes to midnight, reverting to 7 in 1960 due to increased awareness and cooperation.

In a nuclear war, all men are cremated equal.

[Barack Obama]

right now we are pretty far from destroying each other in comparison to around 40-50 years ago... the threat is still there however

Kinda sad to know that we all will die someday, but remember "What do we say to the god of Death?"

[ilovemyschnauzer1]
