Watching Lost

Mother of all theories, my head hurts from reading this one from the Time Loop Theory website! Whew! The stipulations they have explained are very easy to follow, but difficult to digest…in the brain.

Some of the theories they’ve come up with are these —

During the testing of the time machine, DHARMA and the others make the following discoveries about time travel:

• 1. When someone enters the time machine, they can only go back in time – and only to a time where the machine was currently running.
• 2. When you go back in time, you do not de-age. For example, if you are 50, and go back 10 years in time, you do NOT have your 40-year-old body. HOWEVER, your 50-year-old body would not age for the following 10 years, until you caught back up with the present in which you originally entered the time machine.
• 3. While your physical body does not de-age, time travel will TEMPORARILY cure any physical ailments you may have had prior to entering the time machine. For example, say you become paralyzed in the year 2010 – in the year 2015, you decide to enter the time machine and go back in time 10 years to a time before you were paralyzed. When you travel back to 2005, you would be able to walk again because fate has not deemed that you are paralyzed for another 5 years. However, after 5 years, “fate would find a way�? to paralyze you again. Maybe the first time you were paralyzed, it was because you were pushed out of a window and you fell on your back. But, as “the universe has a funny way of course correcting,�? you may get hit by a car the second time around.
• 4. When you go back in time, you can therefore only “change�? things that don’t have an impact on your destiny. In other words, if you went to go see a movie on a specific date, and then went back in time, you wouldn’t necessarily go see the movie the second time around. However, if that movie caused you to make a life-altering decision, fate would find a way to have you still make that decision, just without the original influence from you going to see the movie the first time around.
• 5. If you go back in time and die, you are not “totally�? dead because there has already been a variation of the universe where you were alive in the future. Thus, you become “half dead.�? In other words, you presence may be known to some people but not others. Your presence would only be known when you are required to make an impact to fate. So, say you were the founder of Google. You go back in time to a point before you founded Google. But, then you die for some unknown reason. Fate would still allow for a way for Google to be founded. More likely than not, your “half dead�? self would manifest to someone else, and you would give THEM the idea to create Google – thus, the overall series of events that dominate the universe (the creation of corporate giants) will never change, but you can still technically be dead.
• 6. If you have never had a child, you cannot go back in time and give birth. Fate does not allow for a new entity to exist in a past where it originally did not exist. Thus fate would either have to kill the mother, the baby or both in order to course correct.

I’m not done reading it all yet… I’ll do so right after I take a migraine tablet or two! But if you’re all about breaking down the mysteries of Lost, this is worth a peek.

Has someone finally been able to figure it out?
