Have you ever wondered how long the world could withstand a zombie apocalypse?

The University of Leicester has worked out that it would take only 100 days for the zombies to take over Planet Earth.

Physics students from the university predicted a mere 300 humans would remain alive and uninfected at the end of the 100 days.

They presented their findings in the Journal of Physics Special Topics, a peer-reviewed student journal run by the University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy.
