Zombies and Floating Bodies Concepts

The video explores the concept of whether zombies float or sink, which is crucial for survival strategies during a zombie apocalypse. It explains that zombies, like human bodies, can either float or sink based on factors such as age and water temperature. Initially, zombies would sink, but as decomposition occurs, gases build up, causing them to float. The video also discusses how temperature affects decomposition rates and buoyancy. It concludes with a humorous note on zombie flatulence and the potential for fish to become zombies, while engaging viewers to support SciShow on Patreon.

What factor is NOT mentioned as affecting whether zombies float or sink?

• Zombie's breathing

• Age of the zombie

• Water temperature

• Zombie's diet

Why do bodies, including zombies, eventually float after sinking?

• They grow fins and swim

• Water currents push them up

• Gases produced by microbes cause them to float

• They become lighter over time

What was used in the 2004 experiment to study floating bodies?

• Dead pigs

• Artificial bodies

• Human cadavers

• Zombie replicas

How does temperature affect the floating process of zombies?

• Temperature has no effect

• Warmer temperatures slow down the process

• Colder temperatures slow down bacterial growth

• Colder temperatures speed up the process

What might help trapped gases escape from a zombie's body?

• Loud noises

• Sunlight exposure

• External pressure

• Zombie's body movements

What is a potential downside of zombies being in water?

• They might become stronger

• They could attract fish

• They might learn to swim

• They could dissolve

What humorous question is posed at the end of the video?

• Can zombies speak?

• Can zombies drive cars?

• Can zombies learn to dance?

• Can fish become zombies?
