Nuclear war would forever split human history into anything that happened before and the post-war apocalypse.
In the worst case, mass fires consume everything within tens of thousands of square kilometers, killing hundreds of millions within hours.
But the worst part comes after that.
Nuclear war could trigger a nuclear winter that might kill billions, maybe even completely collapsing our civilization.
How does it work?
And what would it look like?
Fire causes winter.
When a nuclear weapon is detonated, a bubble of gas hotter than the sun is forced into existence, so hot that everything within kilometers immediately begins to burn.
The terror bubble expands rapidly, filling the sky over its target, creating a devastating shockwave that causes most of the immediate destruction.
Basically, you break a lot of stuff and set it on fire.
