Are there any theories out there as to how this is?

It's the virus. It fuels them. It animates their dead flesh and bodies and that's how they move. That's where they get their energy from.

Zombies don't burn calories. Zombies don't digest the meat they eat. They don't eat it for fuel. The meat zombies eat just sits in their stomachs or slides out.

Though, for the record, zombies don't just violate the very laws of physics, I am pretty sure they violate the very laws of reality.

However, it's EXACTLY this type of hubris, that we humans think we really understand how the universe works and what the "laws" of physics and reality actually are that leads us to create some virus or something the reanimates the dead and shows us that we really have no idea how things really work...
