Speak freely, Lost-a-lot! Most of us are just talking out of our butts anyway!!
I think it's nickname time! Lost-a-lot just takes too long to type (or I'm too damn lazy)! How about LAL?
Hey, that sounds good to me, Lissa. (Lissa?)
I think d43m0n's model is correct, but there's something that puzzles me. On-Island Des would be the product of a reality in which he doesn't physically visit Faraday at Oxford. Yet on-Island Faraday appears to be the one who was visited since he has the device coordinates and suffers from memory loss due his using the device. So did one or the other cross worlds when he reached the Island? Or does it mean two Faradays were visited in like manner and that the realities are codependent? What do you guys think?
Hmmmm. That's pretty heavy, LAL, but I guess I'm lost as to how you have come to the conclusion that on-island Faraday is the one that on-island Des visited? Isn't that the purpose of him writing in his journal (aside from the memory loss) or am I not getting something?
GREAT post (and Lissa works just fine - it's better than what some here call me)!!

I was trying to come up with a timeline for the important events in desmond's life, and I ended up drawing one so I thought I'd share it with you, in the hope that it will clear some things and maybe understand more of how time travel works in Lost. Post your ideas,corrections,etc
Should there be another tuning fork at the second red dot, where there would be a previous timeline and a new timeline again because Desmond travels in time again, seeing the future and thereby changing his past/present?

Chester, I'm not sure if that makes sense, unless it's possible to quantify if Des returned to an existing timeline or if a new one was created? I just have no idea how to do that!

I'm thinking something like this. So that the 'original timeline' ends each time someone goes back and makes a new time line. I like the way D43 did the helical wrap thing with the time-lines too..

Well that is very interesting indeed! I really love this thread and love the notion of creating a visual map of the confusing topic of time travel. I only wish the OP was here as well!
So when Dezzie found Penny, as his constant, do you think he re-joined the original timeline or was a new one created or both?

I think it stopped the bouncing around, consciously, in time. And he was then stuck in the latest version of the time-line when this happened.
I wish the OP was here too.
