Could zombies ever happen

Answer 1

The type shown in movies like "28 Days Later" or "28 Weeks Later", sure. With some qualifications, there is nothing inherently impossible in some kind of "rage" virus being created.

As to the more traditional type, that is a bit more delicate. For starters, you'll never see the comedic type that amble about saying, "Brains!" at sorority houses. Sentience either is or is not, there is no selective ability to speak one word.

As for George Romero's Zombies, maybe, with qualifications.

It may be possible to reanimate a corpse. But what it would wish to do is speculative. It might have all the memories and intelligence as before. Or it might be a complete vegetable just lying there.

It would seem difficult for it to be in a "half way" state. Where it can move, has some memories - like of what doors are - and some rudimentary tool using ability. What would actually motivate it would be an issue, too. It would seem unlikely to care about eating.

The biggest flaw is the assumption that they would only attack humans. Zombies, like any hypothetical people infected with a "rage" virus, would attack each other, too. There is no reason to attack solely humans, and certainly no credible way to tell the difference between human and zombie, or infected and uninfected.

Finally, someone knows just as me, However as you said "It may be possible to reanimate a corpse." I do not agree with that. The only thing I could think of when thinking about what would happen to start an Apocalypse of so called "Zombies" or the "Living Dead" would be a virus, or a disease/disorder, such as the "Rage Virus" in 28 days later and 28 weeks later. Or a disease that doesn't necessarily project on "Zombies" such as an advanced type of Rabies.

As I was going to say, It is impossible to reanimate dead tissue, And I say that in the surest way possible. Because of the fact it has been proven..

Answer 2

No, zombies as portrayed in movies and television are purely fictional. There is no scientific evidence or plausible scenario that would support the idea of reanimated corpses walking around and causing harm to the living.
