Best Way for Human Survival in A Zombie Apocalypse

Category: Gossip Game: Default Posted on Aug 18, 2009 3:04 am


 

We love zombie stuff, so do mathematicians...I guess.

A team of mathematicians from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa Canada have created a series of mathematical models to explore the effects of a zombie outbreak and determine the best course for human survival. For the purpose of the paper, the team limited their models to the George Romero slow-moving zombies, and created separate models for zombie infections that cause the infected to resurrect immediately after contact with a zombie and for zombie infections with a 24-hour incubation period.

Okay it sounds funny, the science is even not sure whether zombies really exist on this planet...maybe consider the "research" as a joke, but don't you think it cost too much, at least a waste of money in current days?

The paper examines three possible methods of dealing with a zombie outbreak: quarantine of the zombies, treatment of zombies so that they once again become human, and impulsive eradication of the zombies whenever possible. The models found that quarantine could work, but the end result would be either the eradication of all zombies or the eradication of all humans; if a cure for being a zombie were found, humans would coexist with zombies, but only in low numbers; but eradication, if properly coordinated, could wipe out the entire zombie population in a mere ten days.

Science has proved it: aim for the head, and kill without mercy. Research PDF [via IO9]

So what do you think of the research and the three possible ways?

An AK 47 would be a bad choice, the M4 is much better if you need to conserve ammo with precision shots.

Make them your pets with a collar to control them like that movie can't remember the name. Or as Romero's film Land of the Dead make a barricade around the city. Or just nuke them. like RE2

There in fact ARE zombies, ant zombies controlled by parasites that is.

its long time exist its a medicine who stimulate the death ( lowering the pulsation and stopping the heart beating for few minute) its not news you can see that in documentary and movie also there is a simpson episode about that (sideshow bob who die and bart has remorse )

theroically its zombie but not really insame time zombie must start to be decayed

if you ever played RE4 when you kill the first person it's said he is human not a zombie yet they have been mind controled ( having some sort of Virus )

in a magazine i read it said some ppl in haiti would make potions and kidnap ppl and make them drink it too make it seem like they were dead like they would loose all body functions for a few hours and the family would get rid of them, once the effects wore of the ppl would go bak to their homes but they're families would make them leave cuz they thought they were dead and had become zombies, then they'd get shunned by the whole village or w/e and the voodoo guy would fck with their lives basically til' they had a mental break down and loose all their will, then they'd turn into real zombies and be worked death like slaves

happened to some haiti girl who got kidnapped and her family thought they went crazy when they saw here walking around and crap like nothing ever happened.

not a movie zombie, sounded kinda true so zombies do exist?

the real zombie terms here would not be the Undead as we actually saw its more like Brainwashed sheepish human or mindless Human who walks and do only the primary basic EATING not thinking anymore in all zombie movie including resident evil they talk about that They lost all reasonable way to think and all they need is drinking and eating

yet an Undead zombie Might not be exist or they could exist ... a lot of people believe In god or satan why not in zombie ??? it's the same thing it's only a belief among any other

Well there IS a few parasites that can mind control ants, they can evolve and effect humans and will make us zombie-like.

First - the science is sure there are no zombies at all.

Second - mathematical models can be created for everything that a human can imagine and describe, so there is no wonder that such kind of models emerge.

LOL, "Science has proved it: aim for the head, and kill without mercy." I don't know how people would react if there was one, would just see a lot of fighting i guess.

If you were a zombie with no lower jaw, one arm, half a torso,etc would you want to be human again?

I guess eradication of zombies is the choice. Ak 47 , dozen of bullets will do.
