On social media, Die-Hard fans discovered the hidden detail in Neo's passport.
Over two decades after its release, the sci-fi classic "The Matrix" continues to surprise fans with hidden details.
The film, starring Keanu Reeves as Neo, has spawned a devoted fanbase that continues to search for hidden meanings and easter eggs within the movie.
One recently unearthed detail has sparked Reddit discussion.
A keen-eyed viewer shared a screenshot of Neo's passport during his interrogation scene, revealing an expiration date that coincides with the tragic events of 9/11. This has led some to jokingly suggest it's a "glitch in the Matrix" itself.
One person said: Don't forget the pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen which aired BEFORE 9/11 and was about a such an event happening.
A second wrote: Oh my God what. Is it the helicopter crashing into a building? is THAT it?!
While a third commented: 911 was the simplest conspiracy, it was let to happen, just like 2022 in California EC8901 was violated 16 times with 14 gubernatorial candidates you know who "won" an nd soon i2024.
Someone else wrote: Neo passport expiry date was 9-11-2001. Neo means nine eleven orchestrated.
Another added: So what...9.11 was just another Hollywood setup.
The discussion on Reddit helped to discover details that coincide with ongoing discussions about the nature of reality.
Additionally, physicist Dr. Melvin Vopson has previously proposed the theory that we may be living in a virtual reality simulation.
Dr. Vopson argues that the universe's structure, with its streams of information and patterns, resembles elements of computer programming.
He suggests that the universe's tendency towards an equilibrium state with minimal information content aligns with principles found in computer code.
Vopson further suggests that the concept of "data optimization," a key feature in simulations to reduce processing power, can be observed in various scientific systems, including biology, atoms, and mathematics.
In the interview with Daily Mail, Vopson said: "Such behaviour is fully reminiscent of the rules deployed in programming languages and computer coding.
"Simulating a super complex universe like ours would require a built-in data optimisation and compression mechanism in order to reduce the computational power and the data storage requirements to run the simulation." He added.
