Vampires are very popular when it comes to fiction. There are numerous movies featuring vampires, including a few Russian-made flicks e.g. Night Watch and its sequels released over the last few years. Are vampires just fiction? According to some ostensibly serious researchers, there is not smoke without fire. They believe that all the bloodsucker stories in the modern-age movies were concocted from the original ingredients dating back to the Middle Ages. In other words, the vampires have existed and still exist in our time.

The number of vampires could have grown in a geometric progression

Kostas Eftimiou, a professor of physics at the University of Central Florida , claims to have proven that vampires are mathematically impossible. He believes that the existence of vampires is in complete contradiction to the laws of mathematics. As by popular beliefs, once bitten is forever smitten. A person bitten by a vampire is thought to become one and starts sucking blood of other people. So what? The point is that vampires are supposed to multiply in a geometric progression if the concept holds any water.

Prof. Eftimiou recently conducted calculations on the assumption that the first vampire came into being in 1600 at a time when the Earth’s population totaled about 600 million. The original vampire bit his first victim, which bit another one, and thus triggered a chain reaction of sorts. Eftimiou’s calculations indicate that the whole world would have been populated by vampires within two years; everybody would have gone for the jugular had the scenario proved correct. Yet nothing of the above took place in reality. Therefore, there is no such thing as vampires.

Modern bloodsuckers

Meanwhile, the police arrested a young man in the village of Novomosvovski of the Kaliningrad region, Russia . The man is believed to have stabbed an elderly woman and started licking blood that poured from the wound, Interfax reports.

According to the BBC, the 17-year-old British national Mathew Hardman stabbed his neighbor to death and drank her blood to become immortal. Manuela and Daniel Rudha, a married pair from Germany, are reported to have killed a man and drank his blood up. Daniel sharpened his incisors for cutting the blood vessels more effectively, while Manuela’s teeth were equipped with custom-made crowns that were shaped like fangs for the same purposes.

The media report on similar stories on a regular basis. Does it mean that vampires really exist?
