check out some threads about it......no related information was found. most people are dismissing this as something concocted.

at first glance it does seem as such.


Fully agreed. There is nothing about that anywhere.

there has to be a signfigance to those set of numbers... isn't that what the Fat guy's reason for being on the island was. He was formerally in a psych ward and some guy kept mentioning those numbers to him: 4 8 15 16 23 42 ... and so one day he decided to try the lottery with those numbers, but he won it.
Then, he said all the bad stuff happened to him around him...


Even this website shows that the whole show revolves around these numbers: http://thelostnumbers1.greatestjournal.com/

Here is what Walt said backwards : http://www.foxmod.com/lost/lost.html

sounds like "press the button, no buttons missing"

To me it sounds like "Dont Press the button, the button is bad"


That's what I get as well. Rememeber Walt warned agianst Locke opening the Hatch.

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.
amazing

ok... here's my theory.

the island can read people's minds, and recreate stuff from their memory.

ie: the #'s, and that guy the doc met at the stadium

kinda reminds me of that startrek episode where Riker was stranded on that planet with that alien boy. the plot was foiled when it showed that riker had a kid with someone he loved. but that someone was a hologram.

The name of the show you describe is Fantasy Island...

No... It's the "Forbidden Planet"

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


YES, I noticed the same thing!!!

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.

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.'"

Theres influence, and then there plagarism. If the black smoke is a fine mist of nanobots, then thats gay.

Hey what's up with Sayid? The guy is supposed to be Iraqi but looks nothing like one. His features, skin color, unhygenic greasy long hair and nails fit more in line with an islander from Fiji (which I'm guessing what he really is in real life). I know hollywood isn't ignorant enough not to know what a semite looks like since half of it is run by Jews anyway.

Was a cameo then, but her name is in the credits at the beginning, and real high up like shes a major character. And there was also the black woman who claimed her husband was not dead. Both were in the tail, so if she's alive (and shes obviously gotta be), than so is the husband too, and theres some crazy stuff going on that we wont know about for at the very least another week!
Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed as joining the cast this season. And Matthew Fox indicated that there are other people on "another part of the island" when he was on Kimmel last night.


Yeah... and that girl from Titus is going to another major character along with Michelle ( both from the other group).

YEAH! It kind of irked me that as soon as I saw him in the stadium training and he said see you next lifetime the my making the connection to the intro sequence was instantaneous
agreed. as soon as i saw him in the stadium i knew it would be him. kinda killed the suspense at the end for me.

I want to know what happened to the guys on the raft!!!! and where the hell is Adebisi!!!

Do you mean Kareem Saiheed from Oz? :p
Adebisi is listed in the credits for Lost now. Actually, i miss Kareem Said as well. Oz was a freakin great show!


yes he is going to be part of the other group of people from the other side of the island along with the girl from Titus and Michelle Rodriguez

Hmmm....... :Q

That would actually kinda piss me off, lol.

If they're dead, they wouldn't be able to reveal that until the final episode, since then they would have no hope of leaving the island, at least back to planet earth. And by then it would be kinda lame, kinda like saying 'it was all just a dream' at the end of a book.

i wish i could just watch the show like i watched season 1 on the dvds with no commercials and one right after another! arghhhhh 1 week.. argh..

lol yeah, i watched the whole first season in like 2 weeks.
