Fill a room with tuning forks. Each one is set to a different pitch. Take another tuning fork, one that is set to the same frequency as one of the other forks in the room. Strike this other fork. It will vibrate to a specific pitch. The inherent force of resonance will now usher forth from this fork into the room where all the other forks are set in place. One and only one of the many other tuning forks will vibrate, the one set to the identical pitch.
This is a perfect example of the resonance properties within the Casimir Effect. In fact, this is what it's all about, just this simple relationship of identical frequencies.
It also demonstrates the need for identical rabbits for experimentation. Huh?
What do the identical rabbits represent in the Dharma experiments?
Time transference. (Not time travel, no travel involved. Space is not traversed.)
Dharma was attempting to transmit the complete and unfettered data knowledge of one rabbit into another identical (clone) rabbit.
How were they doing this?
By conducting a specific electromagnetic frequency (or pitch) into the original rabbit. This could be thought of as the equivalent of striking a tuning fork, the rabbit being the tuning fork.
The experiment is indifferent to time or space. It is a direct connection between the rabbit subjects, regardless of these two factors. Time is not so much bridged as never involved.
The second phase of the experiment is like the one done on Faraday's maze mouse, Eloise. But Faraday's experiment did not require an identical clone mouse. Instead, it substituted an identical Eloise. It substituted future Eloise. And like the rabbit experiments, the accumulated knowledge of one was transferred to the other. Future Eloise taught past Eloise how to get through the maze. The same thing is happening to Desmond.
When the key was turned and the Swan Hatch was destroyed, a jolt of electromagnetic energy struck Desmond, like the initial strike of a tuning fork. The frequency from future Desmond connected to his past self and began transmitting data. His future self is resonating, vibrating like a tuning fork, and his past identical self is conducting these transmissions, because it is on the same frequency. It is as if Future Desmond were actually present.
And then there's that constant...
I don't believe the "Constant" is inherently attached to the solution of this theory. It is an aside.
However, I can make an informed guess that the "constant," found only within humans, orients and anchors such a being to a specific time frame. Penny existed in Desmond's mind most heartily when he realized his loss and how attached he was to her. "You don't know what you've got till it's gone." Otherwise, his mind would have drifted endlessly across the time currents searching for a receptacle, like a positive electrical pole in need of a negative pole to complete the circuit, unable to transmit stored data.
I believe Eloise and even George Minkowski may have died of this malady. The minds became detached from the body. Minkowski had no one in his life, no point in time where he truly loved or a passionate pursuit that became fulfilled as Desmond did for Faraday. So, he fell to the fate of the animal side of his being. There was nothing to anchor him to any time where humanity might have saved him.
