Post your theories.

I figured out how Jack an Hurley are connected! Jack met his ex-wife when a tire flew off of a truck and hit the car she was riding in.
when Hurley went to find out what the numbers meant he went to his friend at the mental institution. He sent Hurley to the man that was with him when he found the numbers. The man Hurley was going to find had died in a car crash when a tire flew off a truck and hit the car he was riding in.:rolleyes:

My current theory is that the reason that Ben needs Locke because Locke can hear Jacob. This is important because I think that Ben can only see him, not hear him. Together they could easily communicate with Jacob.

hey another theory I have is that Jacob is the black smoke.

[GodlessM]

No Jack met Sarah because she was hit head on by an SUV which
was driven by Adam Rutherford, Shannon's father. Thats fact.

And the guy who Hurley went to Australia about, Sam Twoomey,
killed himself by putting a shotgun in his mouth and pulling the
trigger.

Now aside from correcting that issue, it also leads me to a theory
about Sam Twoomey. Radzinsky's first name started with S. Him and
Sam Twoomey both worked in the south pacific at one point, and they
both died of the same manner. Its possible that Twoomey worked for
Dharma and Radzinsky was his alias, much like Dr. Marvin Candle also
went by the name of Dr. Edgar Halliwax.

Also, I think that theory about Ben and Locke co-communicating with
Jacob is kewl. The only doubt I would have is cos Ben seemingly had
a full conversation with Jacob in ep320, though Jacob could know sign
language haha

And Jacob being Smokey has come up before, but became discredited
as the writers have said that Jacob will be no one we've seen before,
they also said Christian on the island is a manifestation of the monster,
and the eye in the cabin in 320 and 401 is Jacob, meaning we've seen
Jacob and Smokey together. But they do have similar abilities so I
understand where the theory comes from.

Plus Locke saw Jacob too

Ben knows everything. Not because of time travel, but because he is the master con artist.

I believe that the entire premise of LOST stems from the true-to-life Philadelphia Experiment that began in mid-1943 and dealt with intense Quantum Physics and Time Travel (well, technically they were looking for cloaking technology.) I wont get into all my little reasonings just yet, but quite a bit of it ties directly into similar instances on the island and off the island in the past and in the future/present.

Wikipedia these two things: The Philadelphia Experiment and The Montauk Project.

I'd love to hear everyone elses thoughts on this concept.

Great deduction mastercody! I like it.

Oh, I just saw this one in another thread and said it should be deferred to JJ McAbraham. Hope he sees this again and isn't tired of repeating himself.

ok dont remember this, but would buy it....and he was shannons father, but it does not mean that there werent more in the crash...

i think that hurley is needed as he is -besides aaron-the only "innocent" one on the island...he is the only one that i do not recall murdering anyone, conning etc (i said this somewhere else)....but i think it has something to do with this somehow

Locke, Ill be sure to do my reading and write my thoughts. Look for it here or in the General threads.

i think that all the survivors are connected somehow....and that lock will be the next leader of the island....claire is alive and so aaron should never left the island...because she is the only one that s supposed to raise him...

Here's my theory, in brief...

There is an island, and it's location is on a highly focused patch of natural electromagnetism. This electromagnetism can cause time-jumps in consciousness (if it interferes with the temporal lobes of the brain), is responsible for subconscious desires manifesting (hallucinations and coincidences) and can also be mastered like the 'chi' force in the chinese martial arts.

The electromagnetism is so dense it has become 'alive', in a similar way to the electricity in the human brain. Thus, the island has developed a form of consciousness. This consciousness has been known as Jacob and can only be seen/experienced by sensitive/open people.

The original natives of the island built a statue and a temple to honour Jacob, the 'mind' of the island. In the 18th century, a ship crashed on the island, breaking through the magnetic field. The inhabitants killed off some of the natives and decided to stay on the island.

The DHARMA initiative became aware of the island through Alvar Hanso. They moved there to study the islands properties, devoting various stations to particular areas of research.

The islands natives (the others) realised that DHARMA's research was potentially dangerous and if in the wrong hands, could lead to apocalyptic scenarios. The only choice they had was to purge the scientists to keep the secrets safe and to keep the island 'invisible' to the rest of the world. Many of the others have learnt to manipulate the island's magnetic properties in a similar way to how Chi is manipulated by martial artists, allowing them advanced strength, heightened senses, health, speed, reflexes, fighting skills and virtual invisibility.

The island (jacob) harbouring an almost paternal urge, selects a human (usually with parental problems of their own) to be it's 'prophet'. The previous prophets were Richard, Ben and now Locke. The past 'prophets' also act as advisors and confidants to the current one. The island, sensing that Jack is good at fixing things that are damaged, has created the manifestation of Christian Shepherd in order to try and lead him into a leadership role, but Jack's cynicism and rejection of the island, has lead the island to reject him (getting appendicits).

'Jacob' is also able to manifest as a black mist, or smoke, which is actually an electromagnetic cloud.


That's my theory in brief. Check my thread for more details.

I think you're definitely on to something here. Especially with the Nikola Tesla connection - he dies in January, the FBI confiscates all his writings, the Philidelphia eXperiment (PX) is carried out later that same year. This guy, who could be the greatest genius of all time, has to be a major part of the underlying story of LOST, or at least his ideas do. You can link to info about him through the PX wiki page or if you have some time watch this movie:

How about now :)?

when Ben goes into the hole that he made in The Orchid, he put on a parka that had a name tag on it that said Halliwax.... doesn't that mean that since this Halliwax guy used to work at The Orchid and that he knew this Sam Twoomey guy that Hurley knows, that these numbers that Hurley used to win the money are really from the Halliwax guy who worked on the island?

[DeAdHoRaCe]

Also when Locke was watching the video, right before it rewound Halliwax said, "The mouse appears to have vanished, but in reality...." Then the tape started to rewind. Do you think that maybe the electromagnetism is being used as a shield to hide the island?
