ACLOCKALYPSE NOW! (Rollover predictions on left to see more information on right)

After reading an article outlining fears about the possible havoc the Large Hadron Collider may have wreaked on the universe when it came online a couple of weeks ago, I got thinking about doomsday scenarios and predictions (and how each one of them to this point has been wrong). So, I decided to visualize some of these predictions (past and present) in a playful 'apocalyptic clock.' The design of the clock is intended to loosely mimic the USA's Department of Homeland Security Threat Level graphics, which I find equally as ill-intentioned as perennial predictions of doom from various interest groups (religious cults chief among them). However, as the LHC fears provided the impetus for the project, I've also tried to include some science-based predictions.
