How do u think zombies can come about? Your thoughts...
Lets talk reality for a second. First of all, the body is an amazingly designed machine, if you will. With every movement, electricity is sent from your brain to your muscles via your nervous system. Oxygen is exchanged for CO2 in your cells and CO2 is exchanged for oxygen in your lungs. So on and so forth on so many infaninte levels both macro and microscopic. My point is, is that when movies say that dead and rotting corpses for like 10 years suddenly get up and start eating people...I'm not so sure about that. Has anyone seen a pice of beef jerky try to eat them? NO!
I LOVE what they did to the zombie folklore in 28 days later. Humans are infected with a 'rage virus' and go berserk on everyone in biting distance. I also like how they said the disease was so easily transmittable and how quickly it took effect. This would make more sense as to how the outbreak could spread so quickly in todays society. If zombies were slow, I feel that the human race in this day and age would be able to stifle the uprising quickly. I also like what they did in the new version of "Dawn of the Dead" With Ving Rhames and Maki Pfeiffer.
The humans do die but come back quickly and there is virtually no muscle necrosis or tissue necrosis (muscle/tissue death). However, later in the movie, the zombies are still moving when flesh is rotten.
How is this possible? At what point will they decompose so much that they will no longer be able to move? If someone answered these, the answer would logically be that it is IMpossible and once tissue dies it wont move.
For the sake of argument, and to indulge all of our fantasies, l want to know what you think about the realistic endeavor of the zombie. How do you think it actually COULD happen? And most importantly, how would we study them if they did 'come to life' LOL. Because, if... and i mean IF zombies popped up on the face of the earth, they might not respond to the rules of the movies.

Another great topic Stoney, anyways on to the answer. Basically it'll be impossible for a zombie or anything controlling a human body -even through reanimation- to move the body if those connections (the nerves and such) are severed. It is absolutely impossible because the only way a person moves is through, how you said, the transfer of these microstatic pulses within our nerves.
However, if all the nerves were still there, it'd basically be possible for the "zombies" to continue moving regardless of how old the skin or what have it is. Well...until it completely breaks down from age and rotting, but it'd take a while for a zombie to become almost no threat via movement. -

Nah. Its all gravy baby! Anyway. I have to leave for texas and dont have time to read everything on there yet (and i stress YET). But from skimming it and opening up the highlighted links, it seems there is a ton of evidence to go over and mull over. This will be VERRY Usefull in the event it actually DOES happen since it will give us a place to start in researching the zombie.
Thanks Courney.
P.S. Nice boobies. -

I would guess that the Virus or whatever causes Zombies replaces the Oxygen in a humans brain. Lack of oxygen makes people do stupid things before they pass out and die. The virus replaces the oxygen with a substance that is alien to the body but allows it to stay animated. The hunger for human flesh comes from the virus needing to replenish itself.
Just a guess
STAY ALIVE

Foolish to believe so that would do no such thing the dead cells in the body need to reanimate that means the cells would have to regenerate in somne way and that does not explain why the zombies would eat human flesh

Zombies eat brains because they think that the living human brain will somehow make them live again. Its like housewives from Orange County who get Botox. Same principle.

Genius! I love this idea of an alien fluid that allows connective tissue to still perform its jobs and kind of lubricates the body for movement.
