Doc Ray and the missle test. What did they teach us? That time between the island and the outside world are not always in sync. Whether this is a result of the hatch implosion of anything else, it is possible through a wormhole or what have you, to be both on and off the island at the same time. In the Doc's case we're talking about a couple of hours, but could it be possible for the difference to be more?
Think of the island as a piece of pie rotating on a turn table. Each piece is an hour later than the one before, just like time zones. But if you are currently in Eastern time, then there are zones that exist before and after you. As the pie spins each piece that faces you is another hour later, until you reach out and touch a piece, thus connecting the time you exist in, with the time that piece exists in. The act of reaching out to touch a piece of pie, is synonomous with linking a wormhole from off island events, to on island events. Once you have created the link, and travel instantly to the time the piece of pie is in, it would be possible to exist in two time periods if the pie exists before you in time, or to skip a period of time if it exists after you.
That is how Doc Ray washed up on the beach earlier than when he died. Upon passing through the radius, he linked to a piece of pie that existed in an earlier time period.
That is what Hawking meant by the island is always moving.
When Daniel ordered a rocket to be launched to the island, the pie or island had spun far enough for the wormhole the rocket encountered at the radius to link to a time period ahead of where it was. Thus it arrived late.
But the island is never far from real world time. The O6 and left behinders have both experienced about 3 years. Desmond, the Black Rock, Rousseau, and Henry Gale all arrived on the island at roughly the time they got there from the real world, based on how long we know they've been there. So that means the islands rotating time windows are always linked to the actual real world time. The spinning pie is centered on actual time.
Now, why in the world is it spinning? Why is the island moving constantly around in time by just a few hours and then returning again to normal time, so as to be hidden from the real world? That to me is the question that can only be answered by knowing what the island is and why it must be protected. It must be big. The source of life, the source of time, etc.
But let's shift to the idea of a revolving record, used liberally, and similarly to the spinning pie. If the island spins like a record, moving forward but also laterally past radial points, or pie slices, then at some point the record will come to an end, and the needle for forever fall off the track.
Is that what's going on? Is the island or even the world existing on a finite life span that it's trying to extend? When I think of that, I almost want to say that the island is not only alive, but it is actually the voice of the planet, which understands that even though it's life is long, it is coming to an end in time and is trying to save itself.
So it gathers large sources of energy, and uses them to reset the needle on the record in order for it to keep existing, if even through the same period of time over and over.
I know this is getting out there, and blame Final Fantasy V, VII, and IX, but if the planet or at least the island is aware that the record is coming to an end, then it must have nurtured certain people during its rerun through time to help it avoid the ending.
It must have started over and made a laundry list of what it needed to do in order to avoid the end, and then selected the people capable of fullfilling the tasks that needed done. Theory by Locke4God
