So it's not that there's "nothing to base their guesses off of", it's just that you disagree with their assessment? Good to see you acknowledge that you misspoke.
I stand by what I said: They have nothing to base their guesses off of. Sure, people have nukes, but how does that translate into "the world will end in a certain number of years"? You have to have something to measure it with.So it's not that there's "nothing to base their guesses off of", it's just that you disagree with their assessment?

The thing is, they have no way of gauging it. How do they know many nukes it takes to advance the clock one minute? If we find new energy, how many minutes does the Doomsday clock advance?Thing with predictions is, is that you can't measure it. They base their predictions off of events and tension in the world, which can be interpreted rather broadly. I don't think they're claiming what they say is fact, but rather that they are trying to gauge how severe the situation is.
Or more likely, you read off the mark. Anyway, saying that we should say that the end is near because it is is hardly a good way of running a Doomsday clock.So instead of admitting that what you said was off the mark, you decide to show that you don't even know how the Doomsday Clock works? Well done.
It is symbolic means of raising awareness not a countdown.
My point is, you have to be able to have an accurate way of measuring how close we are to Doomsday.
It went back one minute in 2010 and after the fall of the Berlin wall it was something like 17 minutes
Over here the bars close when the owner wants them to close. I have left bars at eight in the morning on some occasions.
I doubt it does that, at least to a good degree.
It draws eyebrows for a little while I guess. It's not like people are checking it's status on a daily basis or anything. It usually takes some big event to move it so watching it would be a useless waste of time.
