After reading a lot of the predictions in this forum, it seems there are many common ones. Time travel, electromagnetism, other dimensions etc. They all seem to have the YAWN factor. Like it's been done on other shows, like the "woke up from a bad dream" ending. But those predictions if attached to a very real and scientific "string theory" that scientists were "over the moon" about in the 60's and 70's - OK excuse the pun... String theory attempts to further explain the dynamics of Quantum Gravity. OK - you've come this far - please keep reading. Within all the scientific blah-blah-blah, String theory makes things like black-holes, time travel or dimensional travel a real possibility. There is the possibility in string theory and the more advanced M theory that other dimensions do exist.
Now for the Hey, I'm just watching a TV show explanation; Maybe the Dharma people were working on things all related to string theory and its relevance to gravity and electromagnetism. Maybe they messed with the electromagnetic field around the earth causing the "incident" and now have to use the Magnet in the hatch keep different dimensions from touching each other (think of the strings on a harp being different dimensions) and during a "system failure" the dimensions do touch each other. Maybe after initially having someone enter the numbers, they had an automatic system and that's why the other's didn't seem to concerned about the hatch. maybe that system was destroyed when John smashed the computer. Maybe Kelvin was part of the others who discovered Desmond and decided to keep him busy pressing buttons in the hatch. When there is an actual system failure, things from other dimensions get pulled into the one where the hatch and the island are. All the rest can be explained by the human element
Thanks for reading.
