I know I’ve sort of said this theory before but I thought it deserved it’s own explanation in direct relation to why I think the MIB is Radzinsky.
Radzinsky committed quantum suicide as in the speculation from a variation of the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment regarding "quantum suicide and immortality". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality. When he blew his brains out he had the gun rigged to a machine that measures the spin of a quantum particle. This means that although he is dead in one time line and alive in another, according to the ideas in theoretical physics he can be both dead AND alive in all the many possibilities of the time line.
It would mean that Radzinsky and Dharma were experimenting with ideas that we know only as theoretical quantum physics, they were putting these theories into practice. He and Dharma would have created time travel so that many possible timelines could exist almost simultaneously by creating a time loop where time would be repeated over and over and slight changes would be made in each loop. This enabled him to access a myriad of alternate realities and maybe even other people's consciousnesses. This would make him Jacob's nemesis having taken on another person's form IE the guy who was played by Titus Welliver. I actually think that the guy played by Titus Welliver could have been a totally different person before being taken over by the MIB (who I think is Radzinsky). He could have been called Mark, for all we know.
So somebody had to go back in time to make those slight changes. I think that exposure to EM is what allows people to do that. I also think that turning the wheel exposes the person in the FDW chamber to high levels of EM. Therefore turning the wheel allows a person to go to a different point in time to make changes in the timeline but they are also out of time physically as well as their consciousness being out of time. The Others have assumed this role but this is part of a whole other theory – “Turning the wheel makes you a leader” (work in progress).
I think for years, MIB (who is really Radzinsky) has been taking people’s forms by becoming their consciousnesses and assuming their bodies in their absence. This could be because the person’s body (that Radzinsky inhabits) has no consciousness because the person is either 1) dead or 2) another Schrödinger's cat. That is if exposure to EM also makes the person a Schrödinger's cat, IE they’ve been killed or not killed in the same scenario as Radzinsky was where many worlds have enabled the person to have quantum immortality too. I think that if Radzinsky is alive in many possible iterations of the time line and the barriers separating these different realities are down (I think Cerberus is the device that keeps them separated and we know that is malfunctioning) then a person with quantum immortality can switch from one time iteration to another as themselves. This is just like we have seen possible in the déjà vu mind/consciousness switching Des experienced. Then wi! th a constant Des could be as dangerous as the MIB/Radzinsky.

“EXPLANATION OF THE THOUGHT EXPERIMENT
One example of the thought experiment is: a man sits down before a gun, which is pointed at his head. The gun is rigged to a machine that measures the spin of a quantum particle. Each time the trigger is pulled, the spin of the quantum particle is measured. Depending on the measurement, the gun will either fire, or it won't. If the quantum particle is measured as spinning in a clockwise motion, the gun will fire. If the particle is spinning counterclockwise, the gun won't discharge; there will only be a click.
The man now pulls the trigger. The gun clicks. He pulls the trigger again, with the same result. And again; the gun does not fire. The man will continue to pull the trigger again and again with the same result: The gun won't fire. Although it's functioning properly and loaded with bullets, no matter how many times he pulls the trigger, the gun will never seem to fire.
Go back in time to the beginning of the experiment. The man pulls the trigger for the very first time, and the particle is now measured as spinning clockwise. The gun fires. The man is dead.
But the problem arises; the man already pulled the trigger the first time — and an infinite amount of times following that — and we already know the gun didn't fire. How can the man be dead? The man is unaware, but he's both alive and dead. Each time he pulls the trigger, the universe is split in two. It will continue to split, again and again, each time the trigger is pulled. ¬ This thought experiment is called 'quantum suicide'. It was first posed by theorist Max Tegmark in 1997. However, science fiction author Larry Niven originally proposed a fictional variant of quantum suicide in his short story All the Myriad Ways in which the protagonist's final action in the story kills/fails to kill him in a myriad of alternate realities.
REPEATED RUNS OF THE EXPERIMENT
With each run of the experiment there is a 50-50 chance that the gun will be triggered and the experimenter will die. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, the gun will (in all likelihood) eventually be triggered and the experimenter will die (assuming the experimenter allows the wavefunction/spinor of the particle to evolve back to its original state after each attempt). If the many-worlds interpretation is correct then at each run of the experiment, the experimenter will be split into one world in which he survives and another world in which he dies. After many runs of the experiment, there will be many worlds. In the worlds where the experimenter dies, he will cease to be a conscious entity.
THE EXPERIMENTER'S POINT OF VIEW
However, from the point of view of the non-dead copies of the experimenter, the experiment will continue running without his ceasing to exist, because at each branch, he will only be able to observe the result in the world in which he survives, and if many-worlds is correct, the surviving copies of the experimenter will notice that he never seems to die, therefore "proving" himself to be invulnerable to the gun mechanism in question, from his own point of view.
QUANTUM IMMORTALITY
The idea behind quantum immortality is that the experimenter will remain alive in, and thus remain able to experience, at least one of the universes in this set, even though these universes form a tiny subset of all possible universes. Over time, the experimenter would therefore never perceive his or her own death.”
