Every January in recent decades, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the hands of the Doomsday Clock —a graphic illustration of how close the planet is to the civilization-ending disaster symbolized by midnight. When the hands of the Clock first moved toward midnight it was 1949, and the ...

I figure not only is this a good way for me to reflect on what’s been going on, but it could also help you decide if a countdown clock mig...
