Warm Bodies

But given that we don't actually know how Zombies will act, how can it be that Warm Bodies is taking liberties?

aha but if zombies dont exist, you cant actively not know how they will act.

Thanks to The Big Bang Theory, almost everybody knows about the Schrödinger's cat paradox.
Basically, there's a cat in a box. He may or may not be dead, but you can't know without opening the box.
Therefore he is simultaneously alive and dead.

I dont see what the beginning of the universe had to do with this guy's pet cat.

so its a zombie cat?

edit - sorry. I think zombies can have variance, just like vampires do (twilight to true blood, very different) and I dont think we shall be able to stop them evolving. Time has passed that I would spend time arguing with a kid that Elves dont have pointy ears in Middle earth and Hobbits arent Irish. I guess theres no one version of what zombies should be like other than they rot, walk funny and eat people. So I'm ok with Warm Bodies's zombs personally.
