难题：小说背后的科学 – 真实的矩阵是否可信？相关技术的调查
The Roots of The Matrix”这张碟中包含两个各长一小时的重要节目：“Return To Source: Philosophy %26amp; The Matrix”和“The Hard Problem: The Science Behind The Fiction”。前者从哲学的角度分析了The Matrix系列电影的众多含义，多位哲学家、大学教授和作者悉数登场，不断引经据典，探讨三部曲电影的哲学意义，他们谈到的很多话题在我们以前的一些讨论中也或多或少提到过，所以听来甚是亲切，它也为两位哲学家所做的随片评论做出了更多的补充，绝对是Matrix迷们不可错过的节目；后者则从科学的角度探讨了人工智能、机器人、人类思维研究等方面的问题，多位人工智能科学家、生物科学家、科幻小说作家和网络游戏制作者畅谈他们对科技和AI发展的看法以及在发展过程中遇到的难题。这张碟还有一个同样精彩的彩蛋，彩蛋中的7个小片段也分别是Return To Source和The Hard Problem的补充，比如“The Writer's Journey”一书的作者Christopher Vogler伴随The Matrix的电影片段来讲述英雄故事的写作模式，哲学家分析剧中人物名字和车牌号的含义，圣杯和Merovingian的传说，机器是上帝而Smith是耶稣的说法，科学家演示讲解分子重组机器人和纳米科技，等等，这些小片段都给我们带来更多来自影片内外的不同体验。

What if nuclear power is the only energy source that has the ability to stop climate change?
