Out of the Blue

Today's a day many of us have been anticipating for some time, as The Matrix Revolutions will be opening in U.S. theaters. I know that there are also those who are over this, and could care less, but that's okay, it keeps the agents from chasing you. In any event, this is likely to inspire comments on the forums here as folks like myself return from seeing the movie, but please, as always, keep spoiler-type comments camouflaged by a secret text tag.

There's no reason Neo shouldn't be able to see the machines like that. The eyes only detect the EM radiation we call light and our brain interprets it. If his brain can pick up some form of EM radiation (IR, UV, radio, micro... etc) and interpret it in some way then he could see that way e.g. bees can see UV, and some night vision goggles use IR, so those forms of EM can be used to "see", so all it relies on is for his brain to figure a way to interpret the radiation it picks up. The brain does weird things i.e. some people can hear through their skin in a way - Beethoven was deaf but could still compose because he felt the music, so maybe Neo's brain can somehow pick up radio waves or something.

I don't know, I'm speculating. Also, there's no reason a sci fi movie has to stick close enough to reality, it just needs suspension of disbelief.
