The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clockface maintained since 1947 by the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago in the third floor of 6042 S. Kimbark Ave. It uses the analogy of the human race being at a time that is a 'few minutes to midnight' where midnight represents destruction by nuclear war. The clock has appeared on the cover of each issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since its introduction.

It is a clock designed to show how close Earth is to ending. At midnight, it's over Johnny. It's OVER! The closest it was was 2 minutes to midnight.(Hence the Iron Maiden song.)
What does it mean? Honestly, it doesn't mean squat.
