Also, they aren't in the matrix.

In the first post of this thread, poster says that the time warp theory is discredited but fails to provide any supporting evidence. What is it based on?

I personally think that the time warp theory is the most credible.

I'm thinking some of the "discredited" theories are actually going to end up being valid, I mean what else is left? Divine intervention? Damn, if they pull that one out of their hat I'm shutting off the t.v.

Just kidding! I'll follow it to the end.

Yes I think that we have to watch and look at what was disproved and then use the loopholes in what they said to be what is happing... IMHO

WIDMORE: All right.

I think the time warp theory can be discredited as I believe the authors are using something similiar inside; Parallel existence . Thus there is likely more than 6 that get off the island depending on which piece of the 'time threads' one ends up on.

A simple clue is all those passports of Bens. Could they all be correct and not forgeries?

There is no time warp at all? I have read a great many theories about time warp and I did not tend to side with the idea. Time warp (if I am correct) is sort of like a time loop, correct?

time warp
n. A hypothetical discontinuity or distortion occurring in the flow of time that would move events from one time period to another or suspend the passage of time.

Jack's connection to the island has just been always growing stronger throughout the seasons. Locke was the big boost of faith and "sacrifice" the island needed to show him. And by the time Locke is dead he believes in it all.

That this is HIS destiny to go through with.

The only happy ending I see in this is includes Jacks heroics.

What do you guys think?
and what do you think they are saving? themselves or something much more?

I don't know about that. Locke seemed pretty disenchanted with everything when he tried to off himself.

that is correct. But still can hold my theory in that It was the piece that needed to die. For jacks ability to come back to the island. yada yada

I didn't see if controlled by gods or evil science . So that what left correct?
