I already commented this on a previous related theory, but I guessed I might as well give it a shot as a whole theory.
As we all know, there are parallelisms between S2 & S5 Finale. Both mostly consisted of an intent of destroying/freeing the electromagnetic energy nested on The Swan Site.
Is it possible that at the end of S2 (2004) The Swan Station did not implode, but instead was displaced in time to 1977 maybe (post-jughead explosion attempt). Creating a compass-like moebius loop on the whole Swan Station?
This could also explain why Desmond was left naked and practically intact then the station "imploted". If his clothes were to be considered part of the station's tools they would have been displaced as well. Anything that was later insterted into the station would have been left behind (e. ping-pong table).
