The film "Oppenheimer" is filled with terrible visions of nuclear war from the father of the atom bomb.
But J. Robert Oppenheimer didn't know about the worst-case scenario: nuclear winter.
The theory is that nuclear war would darken the skies, cool the planet, and cause billions to starve.
Last year, they published findings that fish and livestock would not be able to sustain the world if nuclear winter wiped out crops.
They concluded that a nuclear war between the US and Russia could cause 5 billion people to starve to death.
