Flaw in the Matrix series

This post is just to get it out there that there is a small, but very crucial flaw in the entire matrix series. But, this in no way diminishes the greatness of the series.

Most people know that there is the Matrix, Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. But there is also another bunch of animated movies called the Animatrix. This is a compilation of quite a few short stories that give us a background of the matrix series and also fills in the gaps of the three movies.

In the Animatrix, there is one small but cruicial line that voids the entire Matrix series. Due to this line, the matrix shouldn’t even exist.

In the movie The Second Renaissance, Part 2, the humans are at war with the machines. The humans try everything. They even drop nuclear weapons. But nothing seems to affect them. The narrator says that the machines survive because they can stand the heat of the bombs.

But that’s not all there is to nuclear weapons. Is there?

In the Matrix, the machines can supposedly be stopped with EMP (electro magnetic pulse) weapons. BUT! When and how was EMP discovered?! EMP was discovered during the first nuclear bomb test, called the Trinity tests. Every nuclear bomb gives off a powerful EMP! Each and every one!!!!

SO, How did the machines survive the onslaught?

Technically the Matrix should never have existed and the machines should have been destroyed! See the logic?
