Australia IS the key to the whole game.<br /><br />Hurley's clue was so close to giving away the secret that I think the writers knew they were taking a big RISK and gave us a visual pun reflecting their feelings.<br /><br />Hurley's tantalizing clue about Australia, the phone call that interrupts the RISK game, the game of Connect Four where Hurley first hears the numbers, and Kate's toy airplane from season one - these all point to Australia as the key to the meaning of the numbers (4,8,15,16,23,42) and of the show itself.<br />Discover more below. It is a bit of a read, but it is a thorough analysis of the epic series and the meaning of the numbers.<br /><br />http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Mystimus/LOST:_Australia_is_the_Key_to_the_Whole_GameMystimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143520649156578650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-64492168991959267042009-01-06T06:22:00.000-08:002009-01-06T06:22:00.000-08:00Hi Bigmouth :)That could be the case too.... so ma...Hi Bigmouth :)<BR/>That could be the case too.... so maibe Hurley's comment was multi-foreshadowing?annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268957686050742266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-31721845547269989822008-12-31T10:19:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:19:00.000-08:00annebeth: Interesting point about the computer map...<B>annebeth:</B> Interesting point about the computer map in the promo being from an Australian perspective. I also agree that Ayers rock would make a great location for the Lantern/Beacon station. But I still think the key to the game is the Island. Hurley's warning foreshadows the impending conflict between our Losties and Widmore's men.Bigmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885083460724621786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-36840687575093085432008-12-21T12:40:00.000-08:002008-12-21T12:40:00.000-08:00I think Australia IS part of the whole game.SPOILE...I think Australia IS part of the whole game.<BR/><BR/>SPOILER ALERT!!!<BR/><BR/>Okay, so it is said that there will be at least one DHARMA station out in the real world, not on the island (I don't know where it was said, but I believe it was official, or at least a credible spoiler). And with the whole Vortices theory: how about Australia? With the Ayers Rock (where Rose and Bernard visited the psycic)?<BR/><BR/>If you watch the newest, ominous trailer with the hooded figure and the computer, I believe that is in the 'ouside' Dharma station (The preverbial Narnian Lantern Station). And if you then look at the map on the computer, it is from an Australian perspective :)annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268957686050742266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-3049719584886287262008-11-14T03:53:00.000-08:002008-11-14T03:53:00.000-08:00Glad to see a new post, BM!

I love reading your posts, I always walk away with food for thought. You're one of my favorite on the net. I've seen portions of the Elegant Universe and while I may not have gotten everything discussed, its was done in a way that you could partially understand. Thanks for getting me prepped for LOST again, I've so missed it. And after a disappointing season with HEROES, I'm ready for the show. Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-87727628829685537662008-11-10T12:45:00.000-08:002008-11-10T12:45:00.000-08:00Thirty-Fiver: Welcome to the discussion! The Green...<B>Thirty-Fiver:</B> Welcome to the discussion! The Greene video is indeed from PBS -- it's part of the Elegant Universe series. Whether or not one believes in string theory (and I'm personally skeptical) the series is a great introduction to some important topics, including the tension between GR and QM. I have a feeling the writers were heavily influenced by Greene's explanations...<BR/><BR/>I believe the notion of walking through walls refers to quantum tunneling. Quantum theory predicts that subatomic particles have a reasonable probability of passing right through solid objects. By contrast, large objects (e.g., you and I) have basically zero probability of doing so. But in the Quantum Cafe (and on the Island) big things behave like they're very small and so have a reasonable probability of doing the miraculous.Bigmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885083460724621786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-15636546451225291142008-11-10T06:46:00.000-08:002008-11-10T06:46:00.000-08:00Is that Green video from pbs.org?

How is there even a probability that someone can walk through the wall?<BR/><BR/>BTW, first time posting over here, but I've loved reading your stuff for a while. ;)Thirty-Fiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166872066512621858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-21315465617755122752008-11-09T15:34:00.000-08:002008-11-09T15:34:00.000-08:00BL: Hello my perceptive friend!

More specifically, I see a strong connection between the Seldon Plan and the Valenzetti Equation. Here's the catch: I don''t believe the ultimate resolution of Lost hinges on alteration of the Valenzetti.<BR/><BR/>Quite the contrary, as the analogy to the Seldon plan implies, the goal is actually its fulfillment. Like the fall of the Empire, human extinction is inevitable. Agents like Ms. Hawking, Brother Campbell, and maybe Matthew Abbadon are working to shorten the period of chaos and pave the way for human evolution, much like the forces in the Foundation series work to fulfill the Seldon Plan.<BR/><BR/>Others have noted the possible connection between the Oceanic 6 and the six core factors of the Valenzetti. Perhaps the key to its fulfillment is getting them back to the Island.Bigmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885083460724621786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-76868871544937758152008-11-09T11:50:00.000-08:002008-11-09T11:50:00.000-08:00Great post BM - wierd, but i have been thinking al...Great post BM - wierd, but i have been thinking along the lines of the island being a place where certain people may be able to confound the statistical forecasts of Valenzetti.<BR/>Have you read Asimov's 'foundation' series - where a mathematician had predicted through 'psychohistory' exactly when the galaxy-wide empire would fall?<BR/> so many parallels to lost.<BR/>best<BR/>BLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
