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. It uses the analogy of the human race being at a time that is "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.
The number of minutes before midnight, a measure of the degree of nuclear threat, is updated periodically. The clock is currently set to five minutes to midnight, having been advanced by two minutes on January 17, 2007.

The Dooms Day Clock is a clock (does not run on real time) that scientists keep to countdown when dooms day is.
Every nuclear disaster or threat they will move the hands forward closer to midnight and when it reaches midnight then that is the end of the world.
They had to move it forward due to all the rogue states like North Korea and Iran accessing weapons grade plutonium for developing nuclear weapons. Hence posing a greater threat to to world security and moving us closer to armaggedon.
