Science advisors for 'Oppenheimer' say Christopher Nolan taught himself quantum physics so well that it made their jobs easy

• Christopher Nolan's new film 'Oppenheimer' features complex science.
• He brought on scientists to make sure he got it right, but they said they didn't have to do much.
• Nolan had researched enough about physics that they didn't have to change much about the movie.

Christopher Nolan is known for tackling dense science in his work. From black holes in "Interstellar" to theories of time travel for "Tenet," he's not afraid to get down in the theoretical weeds.
