The World According to the Volcano (Part 3)

This is the third and final piece (at the moment) to my theory, "The World According to the Volcano". In this theory, I will tackle how the volcano explains possible time travel on the island, Walt's age, and how the others have energy (electricity n' such). Once again, you have to read the first two parts to understand this.

IV. Time Travel

a. OK, remember in part 2 how I talked about the island being on a fast-moving plate on the Earth's surface? Well, what if it was a really, really fast moving plate? Like the speed of light fast. So if it was say three months since the plane crashed on island, like it has been for Oceanic 815, then it could be three years off island.

b. This can also explain Walt's growth. Let's pretend that Michael and Walt do make it off of the island. If he was off the island for a month, that might be a whole year for off island, and due to his age, that's a lot of time to grow.

V. Energy for all!

Ben made a joke in passing to Locke in "The Man from Tallahassee", about having giant hamsters on wheels giving them energy. I think it just is just using geothermal energy using the volcano lava to create electricity.

The World According to the Volcano (Part 2)

This is part 2 of my theory about how looking at the volcano, we can solve a lot of the mysteries about the island. In this part of the theory, I will tackle the first half of the actual theory, involving How the island can't be found, the swan station, the incident, and the crash of flight 815. If you haven't read part 1, go back and read that first.

III. Why can't the island be found?

a. My theory about this is that the island is on its own solitary plate on the Earth (see part 1). What makes it unable to be found is that it moves faster than the usual speed of a plate, making it never be in the same place twice because of the large amount of magma underneath the active volcano on the island. Dharma discovered this and set up shop on the island, and created what is essentially an electromagnetic bubble around the island, that they somehow have the ability to manipulate the properties of. This allows them to choose which colors they want to absorb and in what spots they want (from the sunlight). This would allow Dharma to completely hide the island, making it appear to be nothing but ocean from, say, a satellite photo.

b. To keep control of this 'bubble', Dharma created a station on the island, entitled "The Swan". In 1980, when we presume the incident occurred, the volcano erupted, and the resulting ash cloud that disrupted the "bubble". It caused a release of the electromagnetic energy, which was the incident. Dharma could have left it at that, stopping it forever, but they were greedy and wanted this place to themselves. Not being able to control the bubble completely, they added the now infamous button to the Swan station, to release the energy before the bubble "popped".

c. So then, on September 22, 2004, Oceanic flight did just that. When Desmond didn't push the button, flight 815 was already over the bubble, and when it popped, the plane crashed, kind of explained in the show, but I thought I'd still post it.

The World According to the Volcano (Part 1)

This is an incredibly long theory, so to avoid making the post too long, I'll post it in increments in outline form. This is part one, the introduction and what you need to know to understand this theory.

The World according to the Volcano

I. Introduction

In this theory, I will attempt to explain most of the big mysteries on the island (why it couldn't be found, the crash of the plane, the swan station, the incident, and time travel) using real and pseudoscience. To understand this theory, you will need a basic of three concepts:

II. Required Knowledge

• The movement of the Earth's plates - Super-heated "sheets" of the Earth's crust (surface) move around because of underground lava flow, causing the ever changing shape of the ocean and continents.
  
• Light reflection & refraction - The sun shoots its light to the Earth and the atmosphere (for this theory, picture it as a thin bubble surrounding the Earth). The Sun's rays are white, and white light means you are looking at all of the colors in the rainbow at once. The atmosphere absorbs all of the colors except blue, making the sky blue because that is the only color that shows left.
  
• Real life "Time Travel" - Yes folks, time travel is real, well, for light at least. That's because to time travel, you need to be moving at the speed of light, and nothing with a mass can move at that speed (which logically means light has no mass). You know that scene from the Superman movie where Lois Lane dies, and Superman flies around the Earth so fast that time begins to go backwards? It's the same idea. For example, if a person made of light went up into space in a spaceship made of light, then orbited the Earth at the speed of light for a year, and then came back, while it only seemed to be a year to aforementioned light-person, it might have been 30 years to those on Earth. That's all I'm going to say about this because I'm way under qualified to go in any more in depth about this subject.
