As I’ve been listening to Muse’s album “Black Holes and Revelations” recently, “The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists” really sounds like a track title from the album. Alas, it’s not… it’s the group of people who maintain the the Doomsday Clock, which today they moved forward by 2 minutes in recognition of the possibility of catastrophic, civilization-ending change stemming from human technology. The clock now stands at five minutes to midnight.
