Outer space of The Matrix

[Vesuveus]

This was tied into the realisation that the population of the towers were much less than expected. Not only were The Machines only barely getting enough power to survive (the repurcussion being they chose human beings as an energy source not out of efficiency but out of curiousity or respect) but also that not all of the earth is being used for pod towers (hinting at the Oligarch Kingdom States).

This was one of the best elements to the storyline, in my opinion. The question was weather the machines were using fusion or fision. I remember looking them up but not really understanding the difference between the 2 processes.

Rarebit was investigating an alternate power source which would put the machines as master by choice rather than necessity. His ideas got shot down by the wachowskis or Chadwick so it never played out.

I also like the explanation about the processing power.

Other places have to exist though. The mention of Heathrow as Metalogic mentioned and the comics talk about London as well.

Just because other places aren't talked about or seen doesn't mean they don't exist.
