The Doomsday Clock is now set at two minutes to midnight. It’s a metaphor that denotes how close the world is to apocalypse. Our guest is an internationally known theoretical physicist; he leads the organization that sets the clock. We discuss factors that determine the time, how it’s moved over the years, and what its most recent position reveals about the risk of global destruction.
