THE ISLAND OF THE MIND

There was a quick computer graphic of the two EM coils converging on Desmond's form in Widmore's test box. Add to the story formula the return of Daniel's quantum space time diagram, we are back pondering a sci-fi explanation.

The difference between the Daniel drawing and the Minkowski diagram (below post) is that Daniel has connected two axis points not on the coordinate grid, but the axis themselves. Real Time connected to Real Space Imaginary Time. I can't fathom the implications of Einstein-Minkowski and quantum physics, but space time is three dimensional space with the representation of a fourth dimension called time. From what I gather, time in classical view point is linear in nature, and in space time a constant that does not reposition matter-energy within the 3D grid. Quantum theorists state that time is more than linear perception but actually is a curve, whatever that could represent I do not understand.

We see events through our perception of time, which could be an illusion different from real time. It sounds like a universe of gray area in the gray matter of human understanding.

But we have been caught in a two reality trap with the island time line and the sideways world. If you believe in parallel universes, then those two worlds should remain separate and a part. If you believe there is one universe, but there is a time distortion, there could be a secondary illusionary time line. One is real and one is false-positive.

It appears that Desmond is being set up as the literal "portal key" to bridge conscious memories between the two worlds, the island time line and the sideways world. The EM computer graphic is a metaphor for the intersection of worlds through Desmond. However, that does not show how other people are knowledgeable about both planes of existence (Hawking, Charlie, and presumably Widmore).

If this a multiverse add-on in Season 6, then the following would have to occur: 1) one time line would destroy the other; 2) the time worlds would have to be sealed off from each other; or 3) one time line is found purely an illusion in the mind of someone who is bridging the realities. Early on, some people thought the island world could have been an illusion of a crazy person (Hurley). Now, we are directed toward the unknown "special qualities" of Desmond as a clue to answer the two disjointed, inconsistent time lines.

This does call into question "Why this story line and why now?" Besides the series end is coming up extremely fast, why add such a huge, new physics problem on the final examination?
