Scientists expected to move doomsday clock to put apocalypse 'one or two minutes away'
The "Doomsday Clock" that symbolises how close humanity is to apocalypse is expected to inch closer to midnight.
The leading scientists who decide what time the symbolic clock should show are to announce its new "time" in a live event.
The scientists are expected to announced that the world is moving closer to midnight, which represents global catastrophe and apocalypse. The scientists could put it just a minute or two away from the end.
In 2015, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, an expert group formed in 1945, moved the clock two minutes forward and put it at three minutes to midnight.
That meant that Earth was closer to oblivion than it has been since the early days of the hydrogen bomb, and when the Cold War was at its height.
