3 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen
Presented by : Nicole hordejan
Brain parasites1.
AS SEEN IN…
Resident evil 4
What are they?
Parasites that turn victims
into mindless, zombie-like slaves are
fairly common in nature.
There's one called toxoplasmosa gondii that seems to devote its entire existence
to being terrifying.
How CAN it RESULT IN ZOMBIES?
Hey, did i mention that half the human population on Earth is infected with toxoplasmosa, and don't know it?
Hey, maybe you're one of them. Flip a coin.
Neurotoxin2.
AS SEEN IN…
RESIDENT EVIL 5
WHAT ARE THEY?
There are certain kinds
of poisons that slow
your bodily functions to
the point that you'll be considered
dead
The poison from fugu (Japanese blowfish)
can do this.
The victims can then be brought back under the effects of a drug like datura stramonium.
How can it result in zombies?
This stuff has happened in Haiti; that's where the
word "zombie"
comes from.
There are books about it, the most famous ones by Dr. Wade
Davis
What is definitely true is the
story of Clairvius Narcisse.
He was a Haitian
guy who was
declared dead by
two doctors
and buried in
1962.
They found him wandering around the village 18 years later
the local
voodoo priests
had been using naturally occurring chemicals to basically zombify people and
putting them to work on the sugar plantations
CHANCES THIS COULD CAUSE
A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?
On the one hand it already happened
! So…
NANOBOTS3.
AS SEEN IN…
ALSO SEEN IN…
The ps2 game nanobreaker
WHAT ARE THEY?
Nanobots are a technology that science apparently engineered to make you
terrified of the future.
We're talking about
microscopic, self-replicating robots that can invisbily build or destroy
anything
How can it result in zombies?
Scientists have already created a nano-cyborg, by fusing a tiny
silicone chip to a virus.
cyborgs can still operate for up to a month after the death of the host.
According to studies, within a decade they'll have nanobots that can crawl
inside your brain and set up neural
connections to replace damaged
ones.
CHANCES THIS COULD
CAUSE A ZOMBIE
APOCALYPSE?
Do the math, peopleSome day there will be nanobots in your brain. Those nanobots will be programmed to keep
functioning after you die.
