OH and on another note, genetically engineered zombies from the government, then the whole outmatched thing could be a possibility. especially if the government went into hiding underground and supported us in no way whatsoever. THEN we’d be somewhat screwed haha.

C’mon now guys…these are Zombies we’re talking about. Our working, fully functional LIVING brains, along with our superior technology nowadays, I feel as though we’d completely overrule zombies. With our firearms and melee weapons as of late, Zombies wouldn’t stand a chance. Not to mention our vehicles could be drastically altered to become death machines. Don’t get me wrong, I completely adore Zombies and wouldn’t ask for any other apocalypse, but with our advances in technology all around, we’d have them beat. Unless of course the whole scenario of super Zombies came into play and they were basically super humans, then maybe they’d pose a challenge. ZOMBIES RULE!!!

Which is exactly his point. We have the TRPA1 molecule already. All it would have to do (whatever makes a zombie a zombie) is use that molecule for a different reason. Like and improvised weapon. The zombie itself wouldn’t make that change, but a virus or something that has it in its genetic code would.

Yep. We’re screwed.

In such a case as heat-sensing abilities would be ‘awakened’ so to speak, it stands to reason that if no heat escapes, no heat can be sensed. In this way, it might just be safer to adapt to wearing winter clothes, or some sort of heat-reflective material, much like the stuff NASA covers satellites in, to confuse the senses.

Also, assuming these heat-sensing zombies are blind for the most part, the brain would most likely ignore whatever visual warnings that would normally caution a human. So, theoretically, one could build a low-heat fire and expect to see a zombie attack the flames, because they’d sensed ‘moving heat’, but ignored the danger sign of fire’s light because of the aforementioned shut-off of visual readings.
Perhaps this could spawn a trap theory. Would these zombies be ‘attracted to fire’?

irelavent unless the human had night vision then the zombie would have night vision think of the human body as a tool the zombie only has those tools then the zombie has only the basic tools

the cloudiness could be transparent to the IR frequency emitted by heat (some heatvision camera have mirrors in their lenses you see yourself in it but the camera sees the heat of the blood flowing under your skin , many other IR cameras have black covers. I imagine cloudy white would be less efficient, but might be enough for low quality heat vision with less noise from visible light)

The eyes cloud up very soon after death though so if you use the same train of logic they should not be able to see at all. Vision also requires a certain amount of brain activity to convert the retinal signal into a coherent image.

WOOOOO!!! arizona!!! in the summer if they try and use heat vision they will go blind from all the smoldering heat all around!

I don’t think we would be in that much trouble I don’t think zombies would have heat vision cause they may still have that protein but they would still need the pit organ that snakes have.
Zombies wouldn’t have the survival instinct we have so if you don’t kill them with the first shot they wouldn’t hide or duck so you would get another chance and after a while the decaying would weaken them and make them brittle so they may not feel pain but they still wouldn’t be able to bend steel they may be able to break down doors though.
In the end I think it would be like the be temporary because they probably wouldn’t have any reproduction process so we could just out wait them as they decay away
