What Year Is It Actually In The Matrix
The events of The Matrix are happening in the year close to 2199.
What year is it actually in the matrix. It seems that those who get free and notably Neo benefit greatly from the knowledge of computers. Their history tells of The One who freed the first humans from the hold of the Matrix. The Matrix at the end of its sixth cycle is about to experience its sixth One in the form of Thomas Anderson.
Morpheus himself said during the first Matrix film paraphrased maybe. More important than what is when Neo. The current year is unknown but Morpheus states it to be closer to 2199 as opposed to Neo s 1999.
But where The Matrix really lives on is its commentary on human culture and sociopolitics. This computer simulation is called The Matrix. That means it is somewhere inbetween or at least just past - and close to - 2199.
It is only a computer simulated program that has been created to enslave the human race. This article narrates the hypothesis of thought developed by Hillary Putnam. Understand that the Matrix can be anything the machines need it to be.
You believe it is the year 1999. The question of whether reality actually exists or is as we perceive it is something thats concerned human beings for some time. Why simulate 1999 or a similar year in which computers are prevalent.
Thus the Matrix has probably been running for approximately 420-450 years meaning the true year is somewhere in the 25th century not the 21st as Matrix residents believe or the 22nd as the rebels think. The film confronts the issue of our reality becoming suffused with an alternate virtual reality a condition that looks more eerily prescient with each passing year. BTW I figured that in order for the population to grow to half a million 6 times assuming a very large family a starting population of 30 and no down time between Zion recreations the year would have to be 4500 AD.
