well modern notions of physics aside.... when i have been in an imploding hatch on a magical island. i usually wake up with new found powers of psychic ability. lets not get ahead of ourselves and get too skeptical of what happened when the light hit.

I'll say this much. if i was on the beach and was a bit character who had yet to speak... i would sure as hell keep to myself. it seems everyone who wants to check out the hatch or put thier nose in other peoples business dies or gets hurt or captureed and then dies or makes out with a polar bear.

Point being. uses a lil imagination... we already can agree that physics and science as we know it are not entirely part of this island. That being said... when you turn a magic key you get teleported...

nuff said.
