So how many days in real time is equivalent to 92 days of island time? Does the rest of the world think they've been gone for four years? Someone on Losttalk recently speculated that 4 months of island time equals 4 years in real life. This is particularly interesting in light of the fact that Kate's mother tells Kate that doctors have been telling her for 4 years that she only has 6 months left to live.

I'm coming to think that the opposite is true about the time line. I first thought the island was on some kind of accelerated time but after the missile thing with Daniel last week, it flipped. The way the time delay was set up it looks like maybe 4 months of
Island time equals 4 years in the outside world. (Those numbers could easily be way off but I'm just using the examples you already used). Daniel waited for the missile to land on the island, indicating some lag in their perception of time.
Back to my original question. If Kate is passing Aaron off as her own child than how does she explain having enough time for a 9+ month gestation? They have thus far experienced the equivalent of three months on the island while the real world thinks they've been gone only a few weeks.
If your version of time comes to be true than I understand her passing the baby off as her own. But if in fact the opposite is true, I just don't understand.
