Time loops, whatever happened happened, string theory, etc.
Let's start with the string.
What if one could starting at the end of the string, go back to the beginning of the string, and add new threads, take away threads, etc. Does the string cease to exist? or does it simply become different a new, while still being the same old string?
Let's take the movie Deja Vu for instance.
In this movie a ferry boat blows up, killing all it's passengers. A investigator begins looking into the crime and somehow gets caught up in a new special team formed especially to use technology to look into the past, and watch it unfold in real time. They use this to find out who the criminal was so that he can be apprehended in the present.
Then of course the investigator bring up the question, what if we could go back in time and catch him before he did it.
Well, the same explanation given on Lost is given in the movie, you can't change the past, or the present ceases to exist.
But throughout we get hints that there have already been changes, subtle changes, changes so small that course correcting need not have happened.
And we get the idea, as the investigator is finally given a chance to go back, that he's been going back over and over, loop after loop.
Which is what I think is happening on Lost. You don't go back once, change everything, and the future is fixed, many on the show have been going back through the loop probably countless times. Like Ben.
You change small things. like what someone says, or the position of things, the effect slowly snowballing so you sneak up on Fate without it's even knowing, til the whole timeline is somehow remade in this new image, but still the same timeline.
so sure, whatever happened happened, but maybe that changes a little bit each loop. Til the last loop, the one I think we're seeing, or perhaps the second to the last (Dark Tower style), when you've made all the changes you wanted to make, and Time itself is none the wiser.
Like in the movie, a girl is saved and a ship doesn't blow up. The investigator dies but his past self meets the girl, and has deja vu, like he's met her before. Trippy. Great movie.
Perhaps we're seeing something very similar panning out on this show. Theory by Justin
