The Doomsday Clock, a timepiece designed to represent how close we are to nuclear annihilation has been shifted back one minute.It was created in 1947 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists after the dropping of two nuclear bombs over Japan in World War 2 and represents the current nuclear threat to the world.
