The Official Lost Theory Thread

well that sounds like a really thought out theory i think we will have to wait a while before we find out the real reason

I can't remember where I read it but there is one that it is all in hurleys mind, that he's still in the institute and it's all part of a delusion. It could explain why they're all linked and the numbers are everywhere. Mind you it seems a little boring, like the whole dream thing.

awww i hate theorys that sound like dreams and stuff cos you just know that even though the more wacky lost gets that could be a reason but the writers would never do that

I doubt they'll do something like that, it's a bit cliche and from everything they've said so far it sounds like they want to go somewhere different. I like the research experiment theory. Theres also something I've heard that it's a big brother type show for the extremely rich and sadistic and masochistic.

no theyve already covered this in episode 18 series 2 he starts to think its all in his mind but its not

I seen that one last night.. it gets you thinking, especially when the only person who tells him it is not in his mind is the one who was in the mental home with him...

oh yeah that dave guy....I was extremley worried that the whole dave thing was the truth because he did say you have been on the island 2 months and you have not lost any weight that really got me thinking but he does eat alot of that dharma food and that libby something happens to her soon anyway so i doubt she was lying

Crazy theory but could be true:
The experiment was allegedly conducted by one Dr. Franklin Reno (or Rinehart) as a military application of Albert Einstein's unified field theory, or "generalized theory of gravitation". The theory, briefly, postulates the interrelatedness of the forces that comprise electromagnetic radiation and gravity. Through a special application of the theory, it was thought to be possible, with specialized equipment and enough energy, to bend light around an object, rendering it essentially invisible. The Navy considered this application to be of obvious value in wartime (as the United States was engaged in World War II at the time) and approved and sponsored the experiment. A Navy destroyer escort, USS Eldridge (DE-173), was fitted with the required generator equipment at the Naval Yards in Philadelphia.
Testing began in the summer of 1943, and was initially successful to a limited degree. One test, on July 22, 1943, resulted in Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some eyewitnesses reporting a "greenish fog" — however, crew members complained of serious nausea afterwards. At that point, the experiment was altered by the request of the Navy, with the new goal being invisible to radar only.
Equipment was not recalibrated, and the experiment was performed again on October 28. This time, Eldridge not only actually became almost entirely invisible to the naked eye, but actually vanished from the area entirely in a flash of blue light. Concurrent with this phenomenon, the U.S. Naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, just over 600 km (375 miles) away, reported sighting Eldridge offshore for several minutes, whereupon Eldridge vanished again and reappeared in Philadelphia, at the site it had originally occupied — a supposed case of accidental teleportation.
The physiological effects on the crew were profound. Almost all of the crew were violently ill. Some suffered from mental illness because of the experience — behavior conforming to schizophrenia is described in some accounts. Still other members were missing — supposedly "vanished" — and allegedly five of the crew were actually fused to the metal bulkhead or deck of the ship. Horrified, Navy officials immediately cancelled the experiment. All of the surviving crew involved were discharged; in some accounts, brainwashing was used to make some crew members forget about the details of their experience.


MY POINTS: at the end of season 2, the button is not pushed and Desmond turns the key.. My idea is that the island is actually one of the greek island which with advanced use of the project above, moved it to the antartic. When Desmond turned the key, it switch the magnetic field that was keeping them in place and the Island will return to it original position... The people were basically living in a snow globe and that is the reason they could not be rescued...

so now that the key has been turned , the survivers can be rescued ? them people in the boat though who were in the antartic thought only saw the island for a second thought didnt they ?oh its all to confusing for me !

cant wait to series 3 im so confused at the moment haha what is the snow place about? is that ment to be the same time the key got turned and they were waiting for that reaction to come? oh im confused and are the others in it or are they against the people who are on snow who might be the bad people and others good people! damn it i need series 3 they accturly finished filming it yet?
