Everyone knows that zombies only in horror movies. Or they? A new article in the University of Leicester's 'Journal of Physics Special Topics' predicts that zombies would almost everyone on Earth in just 100 days. Students predicted there would only 273 survivors after three months of a zombie apocalypse. The students not, of course, using real zombies in fiction. Instead, they that a deadly virus had infected someone and then around the world. They decided that one person with the virus would have a 90 per cent chance of infecting another person every day.

A professor at the university, Mervin Roy, why students did research into a zombie apocalypse, even though zombies do not exist. He said: "Every year we ask students to short papers for the Journal of Physics Special Topics. It the students off their creative side and some of the physics they know to the weird, the wonderful, or the everyday." He also said it gives students valuable practice in writing and reviewing academic papers. He that the annual research the ability of students to their understanding of physics to hypothetical scenarios (imaginary situations). This could in the future to us for real-life disasters.
