    Interesting.



    I suppose the thermal gradient is your body heat compared with the air heat.

    It won't work in hot climates.



    And the Matrix was a crock, science-wise. Come on, man. If you have fusion, there is NO NEED for all those humans. Even incomplete fusion leads to more energy than the human body produces. We just haven;t got the skills at manipulating plasma yet.

    There were a bunch of incosistencies in the Matrix. If you "sear the sky" and cause it to fill with noxious clouds you kill EVERYTHING, not just the robots. And if you can't get rid of the clouds, that's the end of modern life. It has to start again with chemical-based anaerobic lifeforms.

    Duh. The point of 'searing the sky' was not to kill the robots, it was kill off their form of energy: solar power. Who said anything about noxious clouds? Go watch the movie again and take off your skepticism hat for a while...

    Grr. Duh, to stop them using solar power, friend.

    What types of natural water clouds remain in the sky for long(dozens/hundreds of years)? Morpheus honestly didn't know what the date was, so they hadn't been able to see the stars and get a date fix for that long.



    The neural jack technology was correctly shown, however. That is the perfect implementation of the neural jack idea.
