The Doomsday Clock

Synopsis: This week on “Learn Me Something,” Aaron and Rich delve into the ominous sounding topic of “The Doomsday Clock.”

What is the Doomsday Clock? No, it’s not the famous song by the British metal band Iron Maiden. The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.
