This last episode got me thinking. Sayid obviously shot little Ben in the heart, or at least that's the way he saw it. When others looked at the gunshot wound, it is on his other side.
Now this got me thinking about why Richard Alpert is ageless. I think this is the key to the mysteries. Is it possible that everybody is caught in a time loop that can't end? Perhaps every time we see Richard, it is in a different time loop. Kind of like the Matrix, where the whole sequence of events has occurred thousands of times already. In one show, we are seeing what happened the second time this has all happened, while in another its in the thousandth time it happened.
So this whole time, could we have been looking from Richard Alpert's perspective? Also, maybe he has been constantly trying to find out how to stop the infinite time loop. At first, he tried with Ben. We also saw him try to find out if Locke is the one who can help him. He has been living through the same age for a long time over and over, and he has constantly been trying to find out the special person who can help him.
