5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we like to call a real, live, undead fucking zombie. So there. Chances this could cause a zombie apocalypse: Think about it. How long until somebody tries this? As seen in... What are they? How it can result in zombies: Scientists have already created a nano-cyborg, by fusing a tiny silicone chip to a virus. 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, people. Some day there will be nanobots in your brain. The nanobots will be programmed to self-replicate, and the death of the host will mean the end of the nanobots. Now, it should be more than clear by this point that our goal is to be responsible researchers. Science has proven it. David Wong is the author of the equally plausible horror novel John Dies at the End and the upcoming This Book is Full of Spiders, available for pre-order now.

The Return of the Puppet Masters. The Loom: A blog about life, past and future Are brain parasites altering the personalities of three billion people? The question emerged a few years ago, and it shows no signs of going away. I first encountered this idea while working on my book Parasite Rex. I was investigating the remarkable ability parasites have to manipulate the behavior of their hosts. Those parasites were weird enough, but then I got to know Toxoplasma gondii. The scientists studied the rats in a six-foot by six-foot outdoor enclosure. Then the researchers put Toxoplasma-carrying rats in the enclosure. The scientists speculated that Toxoplasma was secreted some substance that was altering the patterns of brain activity in the rats. The Oxford scientists knew that humans can be hosts to Toxoplasma, too. Given that human and rat brains have a lot of similarities (they share the same basic anatomy and use the same neurotransmitters), a question naturally arose: if Toxoplasma can alter the behavior of a rat, could it alter a human?

My Zombie Pin-up | Where Beauty Eats BRAAAAAIIIIINS!!! Prophecy: Dead End What Are The Least Essential Organs In The Human Body? Asking for a friend. By Daniel Engber Posted 07.09.2013 at 10:00 am The Most Disposable Body Parts Everett Collection There are two schools of thought when it comes to ranking organs in terms of their utility or lack thereof. According to one theory, the least essential parts are those that come in pairs. Giving up an eye or ear wouldn’t be too bad, the thinking goes, so long as you keep the other one. If you want to keep your pairs intact, the other theory dictates that the most disposable body parts would be the ones that seem to have no point. Have a burning science question you'd like to see answered in our FYI section? This article originally appeared in the July 2013 issue of Popular Science.

Toxoplasma Gondii Parasite Mind Control Toxoplasma Gondii Parasite Mind Control Half of the world's human population is infected with Toxoplasma. Parasites in the body - and the brain. Toxoplasma gondii is a common parasite found in the gut of cats; it sheds eggs that are picked up by rats and other animals that are eaten by cats. (Toxoplasma gondii) Oxford scientists discovered that the minds of the infected rats have been subtly altered. If the parasite can alter rat behavior, does it have any effect on humans? Toxoplasma infection is associated with damage to astrocytes, glial cells which surround and support neurons. Are parasites like Toxoplasma subtly altering human behavior? He reached past my shoulders with a rod. Still not sure that parasites can manipulate the behavior of host organisms? The lancet fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum forces its ant host to attach to the tips of grass blades, the easier to be eaten. Scroll down for more stories in the same category.
