>>11528678>>11528722OP didn't ask how the clock works, but what is its actual purpose. While I think the concept is cool, it is ultimately useless, because the closeness to midnight doesn't prompt any meaningful action, pretty much like the UN conferences where the nations do whatever they want and only get a slap on the wrist.
>>11528679>>11528729>>11528804>>11528875This, basically.
You know what they could do to give a nice spin to it? If the Bulletin actually obtained control of every nuclear bomb in the world, and the closer the clock got to midnight, the greater was the probability that a random nuclear bomb would be activated and explode.
Now the question is to determine which parameters decide the time on the clock and their weights in the final equation. It could be something related to the number of nuclear bombs not yet deactivated, global military spending, global investments in education, health, reduction of greenhouse gases, stuff like that (probably what the committee currently takes into account for setting the time)
