Zombie study shows Alberta Rockies are best place to survive

Where would you go if the world changed overnight? If a new race of flesh-eating zombies was created by a virus, scientific testing gone awry or good old-fashioned necromancy do you know where you would hide out?

Graduate student Alex Alemi does and for most Albertans, it's relatively close to home.

Alemi, who is studying theoretical physics at Cornell University, recently co-authored a study on how to survive a zombie apocalypse.

The secret? Go where there are relatively few people or large cities somewhere like northern Montana ... or, the Canadian Rockies.

While Alemi admits there was no direct practical use for the study, the techniques used in the study are the same as those employed to study the spread of other, much more real diseases.
