Before I start id just like to say I’m not a scientist and can only put forward an explanation based on my own understanding, so I welcome any improvements, ideas or revisions to this theory.
I think an important question we should all be asking is how did the pocket of negative energy form?
Well I think that it’s a natural occurrence, if we look at the melted drill bit and Marvin candles comments, it’s clear that the energy cannot be moved in anyway. So it had to have been naturally produced by the island.
Now before I explain how I think it was produced, we first have to understand the Casmir effect. It‘s a real phenomenon and has been measured in the laboratory. The scientific description for this effect is the attractive force between two parallel surfaces in a vacuum. So in other words, if we have two surfaces which are placed extremely close together in a vacuum, then the space that exists between the surfaces will generate a negative energy.
This is where the islands Volcano enters the equation. A volcano is really just a large vent allowing pressurised matter to escape. Deep underneath the volcano there is large tectonic plates, which slip or rub together and the resulting force pushes the matter up through these vents. Now this is where it gets interesting, if we set up our island tectonic plates in a certain way, we can I believe using the Casmir effect and a little imagination, generate negative energy.
For example let’s place our islands tectonic plates conveniently in a vacuum, which is possible as large vacuum chambers do exist underground. Now imagine in this vacuum chamber our tectonic plates were exactly parallel and only an atom apart. Quantum mechanics states that because of the close proximity of the plates to each other, the atomic space between them must produce a negative energy.
Now, the amount of negative energy produced depends on certain factors, such as the size of the plates and also the distance between them. Since our islands tectonic plates must be extremely large and the distance between we’ve set at an atom, then in theory we can create a large amount of negative energy.
In practice however we would have created additional problems such as, how can we harness this energy? Since any negative energy created cannot according to quantum physics have contact with normal matter, then we’ve simply replaced one question with another.lol
There are other problems too. If the donkey wheel is what rotates this negative energy, then it simply isn’t big enough to be connected to these tectonic plates. And even if it was, then Ben certainly wouldn’t have been strong enough to rotate these plates by himself.
Also if this wheel was created back in ancient times, then where did they find the tools and know how to create this wheel? So many questions.
Another possible solution could be that the lava itself has been allowed to flow into two large plate shaped moulds, then when it cools down it forms two large plates. This would make more sense, as you would be able to rotate and move these plates around using a donkey wheel, which would shift the corresponding negative energy around between the plates.
Of course this could all be complete fantasy and I guess we’ll only find out towards the end of the series, if at all, but I’d love your comments on this.
