I recently saw a documentary in which the history of the doomsday clock was discussed, and they never equated the clock to a literal time span, so the symbol is to be taken figuratively.
The minute hand passes through 360 degrees in an hour and 6 degrees in a minute
May = 31 days = 744 hoursThe minute hand rotates around the clock once per hour = 744 timesduring May, as well as during any other month with 31 days in it.

72 times
180 days is equivalent to 180 x 24 x 60 = 259200 minutes If the clock gains 25 seconds per minute then it will gain 25 x 259200 = 6480000 seconds. (This converts to 75 days)
The Doomsday Clock is a symbol that represents the likelihood of a man-made global catastrophe, specifically due to nuclear war and climate change. However many “minutes to midnight” there are on the clock represents how close humanity is to destruction. It’s been maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since 1947; its original setting was seven minutes to midnight. The most recent change was made in January of 2020, when the clock was set at 100 seconds (1 minute, 40 seconds) to midnight.
The original Doomsday Clock was set at 7 minutes to midnight in 1947. This symbolizes the level of danger based on global events and the likelihood of a catastrophic event occurring.
The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.

Oh, dude, the second hand on a clock makes a full revolution every minute. So, in an hour, it would make 60 revolutions. But hey, who's really counting, right? Just watch it go round and round, like time slipping away while you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of existential dread. Enjoy!
