a person living a normal life.


really? what do you mean by normal life. I didnt see it and dont follow lost that much because of time restrains, but i remember them trying to get in to it.

Well, he injects himself routinely with a mystery substance, has a computer, looks like she showers weekly, and is all by himself. So, ya, he's like every other person on this board.

:laugh: But where does he get AIR???
some of us are still wondering about the electricity, let alone air...

Well, as we all know, magnets can be used in the generation of electricity, so there are both your answers.

And the magnet seemed to be on all the time, but it was just as Jack leaned close enough that it began pulling on the key, so probably part of some kind of generator or something.


Anybody have a screen cap of that painting on the wall. Seems like it should contain something of relevence. I thought I saw a black kid portrayed in part of it.

i was speaking to the point that the magnet was being used to keep the hatch door shut. if that were the case surely jack's key would have been pulled from farther away.

from what i've read online, there are lots of interpretations on what Walt said.

Go read Michael Crichton's Prey if you want to know more.

I seriously doubt that the writers would rip DIRECTLY off of a popular book.

Seems like Desmond was typing in the 4 8 15 16 23 42 numbers sequence into the old computer, then running the program after entering the #'s.

I'm just happy to follow along each week, as long as Bobby Ewing doesn't show up !!!

except for his monochrome crt (which probably means he surfs for ascii pr0n) :D
it would be pretty funny to see him using lynx to surf atot

I recently found an interesting natuarlly occuring thoery found in our world that states everyone has a mirror image somewhere in the world. You may have heard of this. Its called Roussau's genetic mirror theory, and I must say it is very interesting. Roussau's genetic mirror theory says that everyone in the world has an exact twin somewhere, however according to the theory you never encounter this person, by laws of probablitly and other natuaral occuring phemnomen. Its the theory that was devised by a French Mathematician named Marseille Roussau in the year 1988. He used a series of numbers to explain his theory. Now I know you're not going to believe this but here goes.


4 8 15 16 23 42


Let me explain...

The 4 stands for 4 degrees of separation (not 6 or 7 as commonly stated.) Roussau believed that everyone in the world was connected by four different people. So in theory could meet yourself by using four different people connected to you. Example: Your brother's, boss's, neighbor nephew, knows your mirror. Hard to believe, I know but keep reading.

The 8 stands for the eight continent, or the only place in the world where you could meet your mirror. He calculated it to be somewhere in the south pacific. Now we know its not actually as large as the other contintents but its used figurtively because everyone in all 7 continents could meet there mirror on the 8th universal continent.

The 15 stands for the chances of you acually meeting yourself on this place, as in 15 out of 4,815,162,342. Look at the second set "815." Ring any bells? Interesting huh?

The 16 stands for the maximum amount of people that could encounter thier twin all at the same time. Think about the number of main characters.

The 23 is the number of years apart your twin and yourself are. You are not the same age as your twin. By chance and probablity it takes 23 years exactly for the same genes that made you to be connected again to form another you.

The 42 stands for the maximimum number of years your twin and yourself can be alive at the same time. However people do die at diffferent times so thats why everyone isn't dead at 75. For example my twin was born on Sept. 6 2003 b/c i was born on Spet. 6 1980. Now that doesn't mean i will die in the year 2045, I could, but its not set in stone. My twin could die when he is 16, and then the whole thing starts over again.

This is all very complicated and I don't know how well I explained it but the connections with the show are too coinidental to not be real.

Roussau and his team (wife, included) went to the 8th continent. You can figure out how they died and why by the numbers and equations. It also fits with every character. You can predict when they will die. There are others on the island who are twins of the survivors, but have been there 23 years longer.

There is a book Roussau wrote 16 years ago in 1988 when he came up with the theory. Thats where I got it from.

I seriously doubt that the writers would rip DIRECTLY off of a popular book.

In creating the tone of Lost, Abrams said that he and Lindelof were inspired by the works of Michael Crichton, who often mixes science fiction with science fact in his novels. "When [Crichton's] stuff works at its best, it's usually a story that takes you in through the characters and explains stuff sort of in a science-fact sort of way," Abrams said. "So by the time you get to the science fiction, you've been sort of initiated. And it felt to us that ... we can do the same and tell a story that's from the inside out about these characters, something that interests us, which is an aspect of science fiction, [and] not do a science-fiction series, but ... have a show that has a thread of that in the fabric of it. We need to do it in the beginning of the show and not, 'Oh, by the way, we're now turning this into something that also has science fiction.'"

next thing we'll come to find out is JJ Abrams believes in scientology and it's driving this madness.

hearing the mp3's i thought walt said "press the button, don't button bad"

isn't rousseau the name of the crazy french lady that stole the baby?

i heard everyone is connected to each other via those numbers somehow..

i didn't catch the desmond/crazy guy in hatch thing till the very end.. i'm glad i didn't see it comming..

i also think the magnetic field is a electric generator..

anyone have a picture of that painting on the wall? i bet it's got some clues

this thread might give you a clue, but this thread is huge.

Numbers 16 and 42 were on that painting in the hatch. Also all the number on the painting add to 108

other stuff:

Desmond types the NUMBERS into the keyboard...

and the > : | face stops beeping....


the vial he gets is labelled CR 4_81516_23_42
FOR INJECTION..
something about multiple daily uses....

also, if you look at the mural, there's a pic of an "eye", then an "M", and then "sick"......I am sick.
