Daniel Faraday and the Time Dilation experiment

[bferrari]

I assume you all saw Daniel Faraday and the Time Dilation experiment?? Obviously the island is some type of time portal or time is dialated, based on the two clock experiment Daniel was doing with that "payload".

Any theories?

Sort of. Except that it's only a 30 min difference.

I started a new thread at the same time this was started... so hopefuly someone catches this post and helps me out!

I'm not a mathemetician, so I hope someone else can figure out a link here.

It took the homing rocket 31 minutes to reach Dan's little beacon. 31 minutes AFTER the chick on the boat said it got there.

So... is there a relation to 108 minutes from the hatch, the amount of days between the hatch blowing and todays episode (the hatch blew on day 67 and we're on 95 now so thats 28 days), and the 31 minutes??

I sooo want there to be a connection.

BTW Lostpedia.com has todays episode listed as day number N/A. Last weeks was 94... why N/A today? Maybe just not posted yet.

Thats why Bernard's Wife, The old black woman with cancer didn't die on the island yet. she had a limited amount of time to live.

Thirty minutes different from wherever the ship is (how many KM's away?) But who knows it could still be in the "circle of craziness" that surrounds this island. I think it's more than 30 minutes difference out in the rest of the world

I dunno. The missile landed 30 mins after the woman on the ship said it should. Seems pretty cut and dry.

And the ship is, what, 80 km away?

It could also explain somehow why those people (the original Others) don't seem to age.

BTW, where are they (the original Others)?

A 30 minute difference doesn't account Alpert not aging.

And the other others are at the temple.
