The clock represents the threat of nuclear annihilation. It was conceived by the board of directors of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and it first appeared on the magazine in 1947 �" two years after the United States had used two nuclear weapons against Japan. The atomic scientists developed the idea in order to illustrate the threat of total destruction posed by nuclear weapons. On the clock, midnight (12:00) is the time of destruction. When the clock first appeared, the scientists had set the time at seven minutes before midnight. In the decades since, the clock has been adjusted based on the proliferation of nuclear weapons or the agreements to limit them.
