My probably wrong theory about the island

[Hanz Gropenfondel]

Well, I've never been on a LOST forum before and I've never heard anyone else's theories. I'm not nearly as informed as the rest of you, so don't make fun of me too badly!

I believe the island and however many miles of ocean surrounding it is some sort of nexus holding together all times and dimensions.
And it seems to me that after the hatch imploded that the very fabric of space and time may be unraveling.
I base a lot of this theory on things like the "Hurley Bird" which I believe is an archeopteryx (a prehistoric bird) or the four toed statue, which can be any number of things, but none of them seem to fit into "our" dimension.
Personally, I think it's either something created by people in a post-apocalyptic future or by beings from an alternate dimension.
Or how Jacob (who I don't believe is the smoke monster) is wearing colonial style clothes. Is he a ghost or an imprint on space/time itself? I don't know, but he's obviosly operating outside of conventional time and space.
Or even the bones of the polar bear with the Dharma collar. As I recall, they said that the bones were hundreds of years old.
Now, how does something like that occur? Could be the island finally dissipated somewhere and sometime ... or even everywhere and every time ...
Those are a few examples out of many, many others that led me to this way of thinking.

firstly - loving the name

secondly - i think a lotta people would agree with your theory, certainly a lot of it works into several different theories i have read on here. the whole space/time thing is a popular one and there are several variations on it, all interesting.

lastly - nobody will make fun of you on here - well, not too much anyway

It does seem that this theory is the best supported by what the creators are saying in interviews and what we've seen so far. We do know that there is something going on with a time shift, as is evidenced by the "Payload Experiment", and alternate dimensions, (the dharma video that had the rabbit fall from the ceiling lol). It is quite clear that there is some screwy stuff going on with time on the island, so to me the real question is why? I like your idea of it being a nexus connecting all times and dimensions, but how could this be presented in the form of a palatable story?

Sounds familiar!

previously about "LOST"....

the island is unique. the original dharma group with the degroots somehow discovered this and was dedicated to the interpetation, and understanding of everything mystical about, and on the island.

geological, geographical, pyschological, para-normal, metaphysical, medicinal, time, space, and logic........dont' touch that dial
