Zombie apocalypse statistics
When buried six feet down, without a coffin, in ordinary soil, an unembalmed adult normally takes eight to twelve years to decompose to a skeleton. However if placed in a coffin the body can take many years longer, depending on type of wood used. For example a solid oak coffin will hughly slow down the process.
Assuming everyone is buried without a coffin and in normal soil, there would be 31517016 zombies purely risen from the dead. You would be wondering why 31517016 zombies, the math is, 2626418 is the average number of people dieing per annum and 12 is the number for years (maximum) for a body to decompose, 2626418 × 12 = 31517016 All the dead people buried before 12 years ago, would have already decompose and will not be considered undead. So with 7 Billion living humans (with modern technology) verses 31517016 undead classic zombies, who as slow, witless and only react to sound, We can survive a zombie apocalypse with ease.
BUT
If the undead is considered to be all the dead people till now, that would be 107 billion zombie against 7 billion zombie. Making that around 15 zombies for every 1 living human. The chances of surviving is slim.

A particle here can affect one on the other side of the universe, instantaneously
When an electron meets its antimatter twin, a positron, the two are annihilated in a tiny flash of energy. Two photons fly away from the blast.
Subatomic particles like photons and quarks have a quality known as “spin”. It’s not that they’re really spinning – it’s not clear that would even mean anything at that level – but they behave as if they do. When two are created simultaneously the direction of their spin has to cancel each other out: one doing the opposite of the other.
Due to the unpredictability of quantum behaviour, it is impossible to say in advance which will go “anticlockwise” and the other “clockwise”. More than that, until the spin of one is observed, they are both doing both.
It gets weirder, however. When you do observe one, it will suddenly be going clockwise or anticlockwise. And whichever way it is going, its twin will start spinning the other way, instantly, even if it is on the other side of the universe. This has actually been shown to happen in experiment (albeit on the other side of a laboratory, not a universe).

Universal speed limit paradox
If it was possible to become so massive that we could fit the entire universe in our hands, then waved a hand across the universe at only 10 miles an hour. We would be beating the speed of light at a measly 10 miles an hour.
Relative to me it’s 10mph, relative to you inside of the universe, its impossible to know if you could break the speed limit or be seen very slowly by us? SP
