Animatrix (2003) [3/9] "The Second Renaissance, Part II" ENG

[sushicake]

Man those people must have been Vitamin D deficient.

[wanderer217]

@sushicake good point :D

[FLICKGEEK]

Command this is papa one, are you sure this is a good idea?

[ha6kox]

how mad can people be to block out our own sun

[FrostbitexP]

@ha6kox

obviously at that time we didnt need it. it was their only hope.

[ha6kox]

@FrostbitexP but how about animals and plants. Wouldnt they die without a sun

[FrostbitexP]

@ha6kox

Unless our civilization has discovered away to give nutrition to our bodies without animals.

[5000Romano]

emp is better

[manaburn]

I see a lot of comments using modern science to say that certain parts of this video are impossible. I find it hilarious that you're telling us that in the future they can't have technology that's better than ours in many ways. They're machines - intelligent machines. I'm sure they can discover a way to block EMP waves, and we'll find a way to blast through further.

[davidtorresohyeah]

Maeda is a genius

[gerb1lmage]

there's no way the machines could have unlimited resources. that's where this whole idea fades

[JakariHanma]

@gerb1lmage But of course they are machines and they progress like humans, and as such they continued to work off of and survive on .

[ndrakey]

@gerb1lmage

ever heard of nanotechnology?

Soon you can put one Atomical particle over another. So basically you can make whine out of water and machines out of shit.

[Wavanova]

@gerb1lmage Not unlimited, but virtually unlimited by Earthly standards. A fusion or antimatter reactor of even the size of a small room could potentially power an entire continent.

[TheSgtMuffin]

@Wavanova

Antimatter or Fusion reactors are not physically possible.

[docopoper]

@TheSgtMuffin -_- Then what do you call solar panels?

[TheSgtMuffin]

@docopoper I call them solar panels. They aren't Antimatter or Fusion in anyway.

[docopoper]

@TheSgtMuffin :) Touché. I mean that the sun is using fusion to produce light - so if they can heat Hydrogen gas up to the temperature of the sun - they will have a self perpetuating fusion reactor - provided they feed it hydrogen.

Antimatter reactors also work - it's just that we can't find any natural antimatter - and making it uses way more energy than it can output.

Both reactors are possible - and in the future they may be feasible.

Also - I'm sorry if I came across as a troll.

[MAnnaconduit1]

@gerb1lmage they don;t but the neither do the humans, and when it comes to the humans vs the machines the machines surpass them in number, strentgh, and power, becasue it takes time to grow a human being until he can fight, machines can be massed produced in hours and as long as there is sufficient metals and materials as well as power you could create a small army every day, the humans have no way of matching the machines in this field, so they capture resources and use those,

[MAnnaconduit1]

@gerb1lmage this is a quote form a synapse listen and read carefully, Unfortunately, most of the world's industrial output is already based in Zero One, as the lazy humans had grown accustomed to not producing things for themselves. Despite their best efforts, human troops are unable to hold back Zero One's relentlessly efficient onslaught, and slowly retreat, the machines do not need unlimited resources they have already been given the majority of the world resources.

[ivarsig]

But... nuclear weaopons would have been massively effective against the robots on account of the massive EMP blast those kinds of explosions generate

[STOOPIDTIME]

@ivarsig I'm sure the Machines would have used EMP-shielding, like Faraday cages, to block out the EMP blasts, at least on their most important structures.

[ivarsig]

@STOOPIDTIME there is a limit to the power of an elctrical pulse that a faraday cage can block and frankly I find it unlikely that it's even possible to block the kind of pulse an atomic blast produces.

But then again, I see the second renaissance as propaganda created by the machine's to try and discourage the human rebells. So giving the robots plot armor could be explained by that.

[NotCliffyB]

@ivarsig Or maybe they had more effective EMP shielding in that time period?

[STOOPIDTIME]

@ivarsig True. But of course, this is still ultimately science-fiction, where the Machines could have found a way to totally negate an EMP pulse on their extremely important structures.

Footsoldiers would cease to function, yes, but the buildings that endlessly produce the footsoldiers would be able to still make more due to some form of EMP-shielding we have never developed.

This is one of the few major plot holes in the Matrix series, but ultimately unimportant to the overall plot.

[manaburn]

@ivarsig The second renaissance is meant to be objectively factual. Are you really going to use modern day science to tell us what kind of technology they could have in the future?

[northin1985]

But will it blend...

[MaestroAlvis]

@northin1985 The humans, ya, the machines, to a lesser extent.

[jenna145645678]

ive seen saw all the saw movies.... fuck i do know that this is more traumatising for me

[lolw00t102]

If the humans block out the sun, why doesn't the machines just build a ladder? :S

[MaestroAlvis]

@lolw00t102 lol, I know right? I'd like to think they are just using the humans till they get that figured out.

[MAnnaconduit1]

@lolw00t102 why build a ladder when the human race can be engineered into such a convenient power source? not too mention the irony that those who created the machines to serve them are now being used to serve the machines, a ladder ha not very ironic or time and resource efficient.

[LemonNation]

@MAnnaconduit1 OK, take the humans that are alive and use them as fuel. After they're gone, how do you grow new ones? It takes energy to grow something-- why not just use the energy you were going to use to grow humans to fuel machines?
