Wormholes, or what many are calling "The Vile Vortices" theory.

does it have to do with the source of the electromagnetic anomaly? I'm not really sure - it's a good question and one that I'm certain we will get an answer to in the near future.

I'm sure people have theories on this already and that none of this is new to anyone, I just haven't had the time to research other theories in this forum. I'm sure I'm repeating what many have already said.

Its Lost. I highly doubt that anything will be answered in the near future.

um...i would say sometime in the these last couple of seasons is near future enough for me. that's all i meant. i'm sure they won't string it out into some type of comic book or fan fiction 20 years from now until we see some answers. hehe...

Isn't it weird Richard hasn't aged in the past 20 years.

unfortunately no...as far as we know he is waiting for Ben at the temple with the rest of the others. But thats a long time to be waiting there without a story arc update...maybe they are planning to break Ben out?
