Zombies

This one I never thought as serious, but I had a few people ask me to do it. There are two different types of zombies. The first is the Necromancer Zombie; this zombie is a dead body brought back to life by some means of magic. The second is the Disease Zombie; this type is some form of disease that is spread from person to person through fluid exchange, mostly biting.

There is no reason to think the Necromancer Zombie can take over the world. First off you can’t bring the dead back to life with magic, if you believe in magic then never read this blog again. (or give me real evidence of it happening) Second even if it was possible the process is relatively slow; you need some one to go to the grave site dig up the grave and bring it to life. After the army was raised it would only be good once, that is to say; the zombies don’t regenerate, if you blow off a leg it can walk any more. Not an effective army.

The Disease Zombie, this one is now very popular in movies, is some new form if disease that causes brain problems and the need to feed on people. In addition the Disease is spread thought some form of fluid exchange, like biting, scratching, blood, etc. There is a huge problem with this and that is it requires contact from Zombie to person. That means that it will be very easy to contain, no matter how late it is caught you can round up all the infected and isolate them form the population. Next is that the zombies eat people but when people are bitten they turn into zombies. So either the zombies only take one bite from each person or they cannibalize each other. In either case this will cause natural isolation because the zombies will not be able to get transportation across long distances and then they will starve to death or eat each other. And the last flaw is the fact that the human body cannot stay alive long on a diet of just people. The zombies that are converted from people still require a human diet unless there are to die from a nutrient deficiency.

Super Volcano’s

Unlike my first post this is something that will happen at some point in time. The volcano most people know about is the one under Yellowstone national park. If you don't then your gunna.

The reason the Yellowstone national park has most of its amazing futures is because of a volcanic hot spot. Under the ground the water pools, the hot spot heats the water and the trapped water needs to escape. In some cases it can just leak out, in others it creates a geyser.

This hot spot is that same type of hot spot that created the Hawaii Island chain. It heats the crust above it until the crust melts enough to cause an eruption through the last solid piece. For a thin ocean crust that means relatively soft explosions. However when the crust is thicker, like a continental crust, it causes explosions more powerful then those of the atom bombs dropped in Japan. On top of this the expositions happen every 700,000 (about) and its 5,000 (about) years over due.

So, big trouble right? Not really. We are talking geological time; let’s say I tell you some thing happens about every 100 years, you wouldn't be surprised if it happens in 150 years. So expand that comparison to the number above...700,000 goes up to 750,000 this reasonable. That gives a 45,000year difference.

However this works backwards to 650,000 is also reasonable. So there is a 100,000 year time frame that the volcano my blow. So the question is will it blow in your life time, chances are no. will it blow yes. It’s kinda like Russian roulette.
