This theory touches a lot of topics that have been discussed, but I think it explains some of the island’s properties better than I’ve read in other theories. If it sounds familiar, please let me know what theory you refer to.
Faraday's law of induction states that "The magnitude of an emf (electro magnetic field - or just think of it as voltage) induced in a circuit equals the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the field."
One thing that makes sense is that the island is surrounded by its own emf, like the one in this picture:

The earth has its own emf that blocks out nuclear winds, creating aurora borealis (northern lights). Each magnet has its own emf around it, and so does the island, because it is a big magnet.
Faraday used these concepts to create motors, generators and transformers. He knew that if he had 2 out of three elements, he could create the third. The three elements are motion, magnetism and current. A generator is using motion and magnetism to create current. A motor uses current and magnetism to create motion.
With motion, we also bring in constants and variables regarding time, speed and acceleration. The variables of speed or acceleration of the motion will determine the variables of current and magnetism. This is known as motional emf. Note that a change in the polarity of motion will create a change in the polarity of current. With this, I would assume that if Ben had turned the donkey wheel the other direction, he and the island would have been sent to the past instead of the future.
Now at this point we know that the island can move, and if the island is a big magnet, it creates a current when it moves, and who knows where this current goes. Oh wait, the island has a huge amount of energy stored up, like in the Tempest station, interesting.
Faraday’s law involves describing an induced emf as a derivative of the magnetic flux with respect to time. This is a tough one to explain, unless you have some knowledge of calculus and know what a derivative is, but what it means is 3 things:
1) The magnitude of the magnetic field can change with time.
2) The area enclosed by the field can change with time.
3) The angle of axis between the magnetic field and normal field can change with time.
It seems that in the process of moving the island, Ben has reversed the polarity of this principle. Ben moved the angle of axis of the field, which changed the field, which changes the area enclosed by the field, which changed the time.
