THE COMPLETE SCIENTIFICAL THEORY OF LOST by Dr. Edson MINATTI

THE COMPLETE SCIENTIFICAL THEORY OF LOST

This is the Scientific Theory of LOST: no ghosts, jesus, gods, saints, devils or any kind of magical creature is here.

Only Science.

Detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of time travel are often provided in stories using the plot device, sometimes incorporating some actual physics such as quantum, relativity or string theory in order to create the illusion of a seemingly plausible explanation.

Hyperspace travel is nevertheless a fictional technology.

####################The Island:

The island is a hidden space-time (or a "baby-universe") within the Cauchy horizon of a rotating black-hole. The island does not exist for an observer outside the horizon of the blackhole, but does exist in the ergosphere of this black-hole.
The huge flow of exotic matter is able to stabilize spacetime wormholes and Closed Timeline Curves (CTC).
It means that it is possible to create timetravel by using the Island properties: exotic matter with negative energy density is required to stabilize a wormhole. Quantum mechanics of the Casimir effect can be used to produce a locally mass-negative region of space-time and suggest that negative effect could be used to stabilize a wormhole to allow faster than light travel.

The paradoxical nature of these CTCs was apparently first pointed out by JACOB van Stockum: observers whose world lines form a closed timelike curve can apparently revisit or affect their own past. Even worse, there is apparently nothing to prevent such an observer from deciding, on his third lifetime, say, to stop accelerating, which would give him multiple biographies.


####################DHARMA Initiative
The DHARMA (Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications) Initiative was a scientific research project that had a large presence on the Island between the 1970s and the early 1990s and it was supported by the Hanso Foundation. The general goal, with specifics still unknown, was to manipulate scientific laws in order to change any of the six factors of the Valenzetti Equation (the numbers), a sequence believed to have some connection to the date marking the end of humanity, in hopes of delaying such a date.
The idea of DHARMA was to develop a way to kill exactly 30% of the world population. Since it was possible to establish closed timelike curves (CTC) on the Island, it would be easier to repeat several timeloops to test their vaccine and come up with the perfect poison to kill exactly 30%.
Another goal of DHARMA was the Life Extension Project. Its ultimate goal is to extend the lifespan of humans so that we can lead fuller lives.


####################DANIEL FARADAY and the time-transported consciousness

He is the most important charachter in the show.

Daniel was the son of Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore. His mother pushed him into science; when she told him that he should not waste time on such things as music, he said he could "make time". (CLUE)

In 1996, Daniel Faraday had become a professor at Oxford University. He was conducting unauthorized experiments involving time travel, and had created a machine that allowed a living creature's consciousness to travel through time. (He tested it on a rat named Eloise). His research was funded by Charles Widmore. Daniel's blackboard revealed his interest in the Kerr metric as part of his theory of time-transported consciousness.

Keeping it short: Daniel wass able to transport his own consciousness through time even before setting foot on the Island.

Other very important clue: Daniel´s map found by Caesar at the Hydra had the hieroglyps meaning "travel downwar the time of the acients".

And, finally, there is the short time where Daniel went missing (said he was going to Ann Arbor) and, short after, when arriving with Zodiac submarine, he meet Milles and said "LONG TIME no see". For the viewers, only a short time had lapsed... but for Faraday, a Long time...

#####################The Black Smoke MONSTER and Life Extension Project

The Monster is the ultimate result of DHARMA´s Life Extension Project.

One of the first description of the monster given in the show was "a swirling ball of dust". Other effect we saw in the first season is that the monster is able to lift people up from the ground, defying gravity.

That´s it the key.
As we know, the Island has huge electromagnetic activity. In the future, we will probably be able to use this electromagnetic fields in different ways as we do now. For instance, we could create a robotic being made from several small grains of metallic dust, which could arrange themselves in different ways and create shapes and illusions.
Also, the quantum state of someone´s mind could be transfered to such robot in order to create an intelligent being. This is the base of the book "Egan’s Dust Theory", featured on Lost.

Thus, the monster is a non-human being but with the quantum states of consciousness of people. A computer simulation of a human being.

Flocke said "he was human before" and that he is already dead.

The Monster is the ultimate result of DHARMA´s Life Extension Project.


#######################The Temple

Is the temple the place to hold the quantum computer? I believe this is the case. The healings are only medical cures carried by this computer and using the Island anomalies.



#######################Possible PLOT to explain Monster


Faraday knew he was going to be shot and killed by his mother. So, he travelled to the future, met the enginners building the computer and then he copied the quantum configuration of his consciousness to the "monster".
After, he send the monster "downstream", to the far past, to the time of the ancients.
The monster gave rise to all the mythology (cerberus and so on...) of the egypts.
The monster helped the natives in the ancient times, developing their culture and protecting the Island (in fact, avoiding people from the past to go to the future)

Late, when monster met Locke for the first time and he saw the bright light and "the eye of the island", the monster copied John consciousness. So he could be John later, as Flocke.

We will probably lear that there are two cerberus: one for Flocke and other for Jacob.

The Ashes are boundaries to Cerberus: physical boundaries. It could be also some dust which erases monster information upon interaction.


######################Possible PLOT to explain Jacob.

The name is a reference to Jacob van Stockum - the father of the theory of CTC in cauchy horizons of black holes and of the Dust Solution of Einstein field equations.
I believe he has Charlie Hume´s consciousness or is even himself, based on the transcripts of the whispers and on the boy version of Jacob.


##################### Possible PLOT to explain LOST

We are watching attempts of DHARMA to change the variables of Valenzetti Equation ("the variables are the people", according to Faraday).

So, once the variables were designated and the corresponding people was found (the candidates), they entered in a infinite CTC and will be changed at each loop. It will be possible, after several interactions, to find the perfect way to chance the variables.

We will see the losts from ALT timeline also going to the island, probably by Ajira´s fligth 316 (the same we saw last season). When they arrive, they will start a new interaction and LOST will end.

They always be Lost.
It always end the same, but what happens before is progress.

Proofs:
>One wormhole we already saw twice is the connection Island -Tunisian desert.
>Faraday Journal and his blackboard brought tons of clues, like equations of Kerr Metric, gravitational potential energy of a black hole, Minkowski diagram, the "Mexican hat" representing spontaneous symmetry breaking (e.g. Higgs mechanism).
>Faraday spent part of his life studying timetravel.
>Several were named in reference to famous scientist from fields such electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, astrology and physics, such as Eloise Hawking, Richard (Feymann) Alpert, Radzinsky, Faraday, Jacob (van Stockum), Minkowski, Frank (Tipler), Hugh (Everett, father of "many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics), Hanso (Hans Christian Ørsted, who discovered eletromagnetism) and many others.
>Faraday noticed the strange light scattering observed in the island. Most of the solutions of Einstein Field equations show optical effects. This scattering is due to the "Faraday Effect," in which a magnetic field will rotate a polarized light source. The Island's strong magnetic field has this effect on the light. This could explain why the Island is "invisible" to outsiders.
>The wheel at Orchid station had hieroglyphs meaning timetravel written in the walls.
>The 108 minutes countdown showed hieroglyphs meaning "underworld" when Desmond did not typed the numbers.
>Most of the books featured on Lost deal with timetravelling, black holes and quantum physics, either in a science or fiction way.
>When the payload (a rocket) sent from the freighter arrived later in the island, the clock reported a different time than its synchronized partner held by Daniel, a difference of 31 minutes.
>Daniel revealed that the survivors perception of the passage of time differed from its actual passing,
>REDSHIFTs are observed in the island, something usually associated with the gravity effect of spacetime.
>In describing how the DHARMA Initiative originally found the Island, Eloise Hawking explained that beneath the Island is a "unique pocket of electromagnetic energy.
>Pierre Chang noted that he was brought to the Island to research the Kerr Metric Equations, which some physicists believe could allow time travel, a property that the Island is known to have. Additionally in the Orchid Orientation Video, Dr. Chang notes that the energy pocket is "negatively charged exotic matter" which produces a Casimir Effect that allowing "unique experiments in both space and time"
>In the Orchid orientation film, Dr. Edgar Halliwax talked of a how the Island's properties allow the DHARMA Initiative "to conduct unique experiments of both space and time".
