    It means that a new war fought with nuclear weapons will take us back into the Dark Ages.

    If we fight with nuclear weapons, at least half the world will be wiped out. Therefore all our weapons and materials for making them will be gone so we will have to go back to simpler ways of fighting.

    Hope This Helps U
