Always ask yourself if the person or people that have predicted the end of time as we know it ... ask yourself "Self have they ever been wrong before"?

No, it was at 2.5 minutes. This is the second time it's been this close. The first was 1953-1960.

In October 1952, the United States tests its first thermonuclear device. Nine months later, the Soviets test an H-bomb of their own. The clock is moved to two minutes. Then as the USSR and the USA accumulate huge arsenals of these weapons and face each other in menacing postures during the cold war the clock goes down. Doesn't seem right.

It's not like it means anything. It's published by a bunch of egg heads who know absolutely nothing about geo-politics.

Perhaps we could get Neal to write a letter to President Trump and the Rocket man adding post scripts for all of the other nuclear powers we could possibly head off this doom day forecast ...

We could all sign it with our real names and addresses to contact us with the answer

Now someone with social media skills will be needed to draft such a letter.

Who will step up to the plate?

Exactly. Real life girlfriends would probably help too!
