Did anyone see The Matrix Reloaded? I'm probably going to soon.

I was thinking " matrix is a mathematical concept similar to the determinant but differs from it in not having the numerical value.

It obeys the same rules like addition multiplication so the array of mn numbers set out in m rows and n colums is the matrix of m x n . And these arrays that are treated as single enteties and that are under the matrix algebra are used where ever there are simultaneous equations. Like "changing from one set of Cartesian axes to another set that is inclined to the first"- the quantum theory.

Where is the certainity comming from in the movie ? That world can't even exist the way they made it "like stay still." Can anyone explain to me where I go wrong ?

:-$ :-( :-|

it's quantum physics not quantom :-)

 

and uhm the movie I must say is quite good...there's lots of philosophy in it . I just don't understand why it's called "matrix"

Yes, the movie was good. But I needed to see the first one to fully understand this one It is an interesting concept. Our real world is just an illusion. We are all plugged into machines, which control us and provide this "illusion". There is a real world, and Zion is supposedly part of the "real" world, but it may just be another part of the Matrix.

 

I guess this falls into the "technology" range of discussion

Our lovely anonymous friend above seems to have nothing but slander and silly jokes. If we hear more from him I think he's history.

 

I didn't get to see MAtrix Reloaded yet...I wanted to buy the game but Gamespot really slammed it hard with a really poor score. Seems it's a hate it or love it kind of game.

 

As for the mathematical aspects of The Matrix I am blissfully ignorant.

I aM Interested in wat u are saying..is there anyway u could simplify this philosophy, so that i could understand it better.

I know it's an old thread, but I just wanted to point out that a lot of the philosophy behind the movie was taken from ancient Indian texts... Some believed in the whole idea of the physical world not being real and all that.
