Why has some of our lostie’s landed in 2007, while others have flashed back to the year 1977? This is I think is a plot device by team Darlton and it involves course correction.
If Dan’s claim that all people are variables that have free will turns out to be true, then this mean the universe must find a way to course correct Jacks plan so that the incident can take place. How is it going to achieve this? Well first I’ll explain my equation theory
Think of reality or more specifically the world of lost, as being made up of one giant equation, where you have the variables of Locke and jack on each side. Locke on the left hand side of the equation in the year 2007, and Jack on the right hand side of the equation, back in the year 1977. Since an equation must be balanced at all times, you can therefore think of course correcting as just the universe’s way of balancing the equation. So whatever Jack is trying to achieve on one side, Locke does the exact opposite on the other side to keep the equation balanced, this ensures that whatever happened, happened and continues to happen.
So, what I think is going to happen in the finale is that Jack will stop the incident from happening, but at the same time Locke will do something in the year 2007 which will exactly cancel out what jack has done, and therefore the incident will still take place. These two events will happen simultaneously and will be shown by flashing back and forward between Locke and Jack. It will be a pretty good way to end the season and ensures the old Jack vs Locke, science against faith argument continues to rage into season 6.
