Thoughts on Bens 'jump' - Page 2

No problem QBS. Attached is your Vile Vortex map converted to an Antipode map to see both functions. The projection doesn't lend itself to exact correlation but they are close enough. As you can see there are six potential avenues.

EXCELLENT!!! You are goooood! And when we consider what the pilot said

Quote:

PILOT: Six hours in, our radio went out. No-one could see us. We turned back to land in Fiji. By the time we hit turbulence, we… we were a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place.

the island could line up with those spots!

Thanks everyone - definately some great food for thought in your replies. It's starting to remind me of the film Time Bandits with all the wormholes now lol.

I watched the episode of the Universe last night Titled gravity.. Its a theory that has proven if you take a tunnel from one side of the earth say LA to Toyko would take 42 minutes no matter what the 2 points are the tunnel throught he earth would result in a 42 minutes of travel.. If ya can watch this episode or check it out I thought it was very intresting and it is one of the NUMBERS

I think Wednighter is in love with those two scientists who are always on The Universe, she watches it ALL the time! *giggle*

I decided to compile some of what we are discussing here and repost it on "Theories" — I wanted to get some other thoughts and comments on it because it seems provocative. Please rejoin the conversation there.

Island Location

Halliwax said that the island demonstrates a natural Casimir Effect:

From Wikipedia: "Exotic matter with negative energy density is required to stabilize a wormhole. The quantum mechanics of the Casimir effect can be used to produce a locally mass-negative region of space-time, and suggested that negative effect could be used to stabilize a wormhole to allow faster than light travel. Certain classes of higher dimensional models suggest that the Casimir effect is a candidate for the cosmological constant. It is demonstrated that a sufficiently advanced civilization could, in principle, manipulate the radius of the extra dimension to locally adjust the value of the cosmological constant. This adjustment could be tuned to generate an expansion/contraction of spacetime around a spacecraft creating an exotic form of field-propulsion. Due to the fact that spacetime expansion itself is not restricted by relativity, a faster-than-light 'warp drive' could be created."

We know Ben landed somewhere near Tozeur, Tunisia which is located at approximately N33° 55' E8° 08'. The antipode of this location is S33° 55' W171° 52' I have plotted that location on the attached map.

As you can see it lies along the Louisville Ridge which has many seamounts that don't quite break the ocean surface, of course one might?

Weird...

42 minutes ... 42 from 4 8 15 16 23 42

42 is about how long each episode takes on DVD, commercial free.
