Lost Update - Eclipse

Lost Update - Season V - 04/29/2009

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Daniel Faraday is about to reset time and everything that happened to the castaways, is about to be erased. The song lyrics above are from Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, the song is Eclipse. The problem however, is not that he gets shot by his mother 30 years in the past, and his mother doesn't know who he is, until after she shoots him, but what he said earlier, and what he said to Jack and Kate tonight.

In a previous episode, Faraday stated, whatever happened, happened. You cannot change the past. Tonight, however, he tells Jack and Kate that the past cannot be changed, except for the variables. And they, meaning, the castaways, are the variables. They have free will, they have the ability to make a different choice, to change the past. Alas, Faraday's scenario doesn't end well, and this plays right into my Lost theory.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

So Faraday tells Doctor Chang that he is from the future and that he must evacuate the island immediately. He also tells him that Miles is his son. He then tells Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Jack, and the gang about the island catastrophe and that he must go to the hostiles camp and meet his mother to reset the time line. He did this to change the course of events, to add a new variable. To course correct so to speak. But I knew this wouldn't work even before Kate typed in the 141717 code on the perimeter fence.

Why? How does the Grassy Knoll Institute know this? I anticipated your next question didn't I? It wasn't anything that Daniel said tonight, or before, but what Desmond had done in the past. Remember when Desmond had his flash and saw Charlie dying? Remember how he tried to prevent Charlie from dying? But what happened in the end? You betcha! Charlie ended up dead. Whatever happened, happened. No matter what you do, you cannot change the past to affect the future.

Remember a few updates ago I mentioned the Time Travel paradox. (Suppose you had the means to travel back in time. While you were visiting the past, you murdered your grandfather before he sired your father preventing you from being conceived and born. But if you were never born, then how could you go back in time to kill your grandfather?) This is why Desmond, Ben, Widmore, Eloise, and Daniel, no matter what they do, or how many times they attempt, they cannot change the course of events in the past to affect the future.

With this being said, here's a Lost series finale spoiler boys and girls. Time Travel is not part of the end Game.

This leaves us only one other scenario. Virtual Reality. Seriously, stay with me here for a minute or two. As the series unfolded over these five seasons, we have come to realize that all the passengers on the plane, and all the hostiles, also known as "The others," have all crossed paths in the past. Don't you find this to be more than just a coincidence? Seriously, hundreds of people, on an island that is invisible, that has properties to move through time, heal terminally ill people, prevent people from aging, allow people to time travel, and allow dead people to interact with the living, plus many more bizarre events, with all of them crossing paths in the past.

Let's concede for the sake of argument that the castaways are time traveling. At that point, you have to admit, that would be a ground breaking scientific achievement since it is deemed impossible. Now add that the island also cures the sick. And not just standard fare illness, but miraculous cures. Just look at John Locke, he is able to walk. Add in all the supernatural events in the previous paragraph and ask yourself, in what scenario can all this be possible? Not just one event, like time travel, but everything involved?

The only scenario that satisfies all those variables is virtual reality. My Lost theory. Some may think I'm a lunatic on the grass, but I know There is no dark side of the moon. Really. Matter of fact, its all dark.

Until Next Week, Get Lost.

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Time Travel Theory

Einsteins Theory Of Relativity

Time Travel Theory
I'll be with you in a minute.

Is time travel possible? Most websites with the heading of time travel begins with such theories of absolute space, exotic material, gravitational wave, quantum gravity and mechanics, singularities, worm holes, and time machines. Instead, as usual, we at the Grassy Knoll Institute are taking the road least traveled. In fact, a road never before taken. You see, all the debates are about theorems and their possibilities. The Grassy Knoll Institute is going to put the theorems to action and see where and when they take us.

To achieve time travel, one has to manipulate Einsteins theory of relativity. First, we need to construct a ship that will enable us to put the theory of relativity to the test. Some envision a time machine like the H.G. Wells version of an easy chair with bells, lights, and whistles on it. Good for the movies, not practical for real life.

Instead, we need a space vehicle able to withstand massive amounts of force with an inexhaustible fuel source. Nuclear power is already available, just not permissible with so many variables such as a crash landing, technical difficulties at take-off, theft of a nuclear powered ship, transport of the ship, and many other variables. The capability is there however, and if the ship design could be mapped out, the power source would soon follow. So, we have the engine power. Now we need the design.

Keeping in mind Einstein's equation of E=MC2, knowing that as you approach the speed of light, your mass increases making it more difficult to maintain your speed. The more you increase your speed, the heavier your ship becomes thus using more of the ships energy to maintain its speed.

How do we get around this? We need to get simplistic here. One theory is to use an egg shape design for the ship with the ability for the contents to shift back and forth much like the yolk of an egg. With this design, we can utilize the slingshot effect to achieve the force to exceed the speed of light and to achieve time travel.

Here is the scenario, the egg shaped ship approaches the speed of light using its nuclear reactor engines. As the ship increases in speed, mass at the front of the ship begins to increase. Using the properties of the egg design, the weight of the ship much like a yolk of an egg is shifted to the rear making the front of the ship lighter. The front of the ship is now out of the laws of Einstein as it becomes lighter instead of heavier and faster as the front exceeds the speed of light. As the front of the ship exceeds the speed of light, it would pull the rest of the ship right along until the entire ship is exceeding the speed of light and the ship and it's crew are now time travelers.

Simple.......
