Corrected entry: In the scene where Smith copies himself into his first body and enters the telephone afterwards, the first person to go through that telephone is holding something in an envelop and says that its really important. He then gives it to Neo, and Neo knows he has to go meet the oracle. How is it possible to transfer an object from the purely fictional matrix, to the "real" world?

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the first movie we are told that the clouding of the sky eliminated all life on earth because of the lack of sun - so why are Trinity, Neo, Morpheus and Link able to calmly step out of their ship before it explodes, as there would be no air to breathe without plants?
Correction: Two Theories: The original movie never said that clouding of the sky eliminated all life on Earth. Both the original Matrix and The Animatrix state that the sky was clouded by humans to block out sunlight, so that machines would not have access to solar power. So techically the air could still contain enough of the proper gases to allow humans to breathe. Secondly, In Matrix Reloaded, we learn that the machines have been aware from the beginning of the existence of Zion and humans outside the Matrix, and they in fact allow it as a way to protect the anomaly that allows the Matrix to function and remain compatible with the plugged-in humans. In this case, perhaps they produce the oxygen?

Corrected entry: Granted, Zion's population is a mix of people freed from the Matrix and people born outside of it through natural means, but there are a lot of closeups of the dancing humans after Morpheus's speech and I did not see one person with any plugs in their arms, chests, or heads aside from Niobe, Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo.
Correction: You can see arm and chest plugs on some of the dancers after Morpheus' speech. It isn't just Niobe, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus that have them in this scene. It's also important to remember that it's almost always CHILDREN who are freed from the Matrix - remember Morpheus' comment in the first film, about making an exception in Neo's case? Yes, more people have been freed in the last 6 months than in the previous 6 years - but almost all children, who would not be at this temple meeting. Later on, when the Kid gives the spoon to Neo, he mentions that it's from 'one of the orphans'; more evidence that there are a lot of parentless children in Zion.

Correction: Like every other 'physical' item within the Matrix, the envelope is representative of something else (eg. the blue or red pills, which in reality are programs designed to either take a person back to the Matrix, or help the crew pinpoint their physical location in the power grid). Think also of the tape that had to be dropped off at a certain point inside the Matrix, in the Animatrix short 'Final Flight of the Osiris'.
