Dr Manhattan, as you know, the doomsday clockis a symbolic clock face analogising humankind's proximityto extinction, midnight representing the threatof nuclear war. As of now, it stands at four minutesto midnight. Would you agreethat we're that close to annihilation? My father was a watchmaker. He abandoned it when Einsteindiscovered that time is relative. I would only agreethat a symbolic clock is as nourishing to the intellect as a photograph of oxygento a drowning man. So you're saying there is no danger. Even in a world without nuclearweapons, there would still be danger
