Hello

Hi Im Matt Walker. I am a Physic's Student from Portland Maine. Here's some of my LOST thoughts.

Coerced Course Correction

I have a theory that the game Ben/Widmore and maybe more are playing is merely a manipulation of the universe's neccesity to course correct. We all know, by now, about this course correction.

Lets say, you (make that Ben) knew of something that NEEDED to be corrected. Ohhh I dunno the O6 leaving the island is a good example. If that wasnt supposed to happen the universe is going to have to correct for that. HOW it corrects for that is kind of up in the air. Think back to Ms. Hawking...You cant save him cause hell be hit by a bus, and you try and save him from that hell get struck by lightning, etc. So it dosnt matter the method of correction, just the result.

Now if you wanted to coerce that correction, all you would need to do is set up some situation where the potential for the correction is maximum (and in your favor).

Why, if the island needs those people back, yeah sure I can see it maybe drawing people in slowly one at a time (weve seen PLENTY of examples of this). Immagine now that you got the 06 all in the right spot (wherever that is). If the universe is going to course correct, that is a perfect oppertunity. In this situation the probabiliy is maximum for correction to occur.

I believe this is how Ben manipulates. He just has knowledge of the things that need to happen and when something deviates from this...he springs in, guiding the correction to his benefit. This is his plan for getting the O6 back on island.

Widmore, however, probably is in the process of guiding the correction to his benefit as well.

LOST - The acronym

Why is LOST all capitalized, kind of like DHARMA. Is there an acronym ive missed? Matt 15:04, 19 June 2008 (PDT)

The Family

All our key players who survived 815 are all decendants of the island's "original inhabitants"Matt 14:37, 26 June 2008 (PDT)

• Their purpose is to "do it again", except this time they gotta do it right. Of course, I dont know exactly what "it" is, and Jack may have already messed "it" up.
