Science is the never ending quest for knowledge. Even knowledge that you would never think exists.
Every graduate of elementary school can tell you that water can have three states of matter: solid,
liquid and gas. We can observe, test and create all three states of water.
But scientists at the Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) have
recently discovered that when it's put under extreme pressure in small spaces, water can exhibit a strange fourth state known as
tunneling.
Basically, quantum tunneling means that a
particle, or in this case a molecule, can overcome a barrier and be on
both sides of it at once – or anywhere between. Think of rolling a ball
down one side of a hill and up another. The second hill is the barrier
and the ball would only have enough energy to climb it to the height
from which it was originally dropped. If the second hill was taller, the
ball wouldn't be able to roll over it. That's classical physics.
Quantum physics and the concept of tunneling means the ball could jump
to the other side of the hill with ease or even be found inside the hill
– or on both sides of the hill at once.
The water under question was found in
super-small six-sided channels in the mineral beryl, which forms the
basis for the gems aquamarine and emerald. The channels measure only
about five atoms across and function basically as cages that can each
trap one water molecule. What the researchers found was that in this
incredibly tight space, the water molecule exhibited a characteristic
usually only seen at the much smaller quantum level, called tunneling.
The water
molecules acted according to quantum – not classical – laws of physics. It means that the oxygen and hydrogen
atoms of the water molecule are delocalized and therefore
simultaneously present in all six symmetrically equivalent positions in
the channel at the same time.
The idea a thing can be in multiple states of matter or location at the same time is science fiction.
The one hard to grapple aspect of the LOST mythology was the parallel worlds shown on the island and in the sideways world. Fans were left to speculate that the sideways world was a device to show "what would have happened if Flight 815 did not crash." Except, the sideways world contained different and significant story elements of the main characters which do not sync with their lives when they boarded the plane in Sydney.
Some fans believed the two were parallel universes. Theoretical physicists believe that the universe contains multiple onion skin layers of sub-universes that mirror each other. The only difference is that choices people make affect each individual universe changes that universe but none of the others.
But now science has given us another alternative: quantum tunneling but at a significant scale. Is it possible for a person to be in two places at once? Technically, yes. You can be on a Skype call and your image could appear thousands of miles away so your "presence" can be in two different locations at the same time. But instead of illusions (images), what if a person can be physically in two places at once.
If you think of the island in the massive space of the universe, it could equate to be 5 atoms across. Its intense electromagnetic fields could be the "pressure" to create the gateway between parallel universes where the actual person, not a copy, could go. In such a way, the person is no longer tethered to time, space and location of Earth's mortal coil. The control of the space and pressure could be the function of the FDW.
We know know is made of one part hydrogen and two parts oxygen. The molecules bond together to form a new compound. But philosophers attempt to break down the human existence to beyond the physical matter (which includes water as the primary element in the human body). A human being can be seen as one part chemical, one part energy and one part spirit. In the concept of quantum tunneling, the pressure exerted on the human body could make the spirit be able to cross barriers and boundaries of the human body and existence. That could be another explanation for the sideways world (which would be consistent with the ancient Egyptian burial rituals of the soul being separated from the body in its journey through the underworld).

ENERGY MATTER SPIRITS
For what it is worth, the theme of spirituality can be changed to spirits as an explanation of the Jacob-MIB dynamic.
We were taught that e=mc2 or energy=mass x the speed of light squared.
Energy has a mass component, but also mass has an energy component (e/speed of light squared).
We look upon ourselves as organic beings with the sense of higher purpose, or a spiritual take on the universe.
What if it is the opposite. What if there are spirits who are beings who take on energy to form mass.
For example, when Jacob is "killed" but is still wandering the island interacting with the castaways, he comes to his final time at a camp fire. He tells the castaways that once the "fire" goes out his life ends. So he asks for a volunteer to be the next island guardian.
From this exchange we can postulate that Ben did not "kill" Jacob, per se. MIB burned Jacob's body, but that was merely a shell for the spirit called Jacob. The spirit could still live if it had a source of energy (a fire). The spirit consumed the body mass into energy, then recreated it in a physical form to interact and communicate with the survivors.
This is the same mechanism to explain the smoke monster. It can change physical appearance from MIB, smoke or Flocke because it is not confined to a human body. As a spirit, it can manipulate energy into physical form to absorb more energy (perhaps, as speculated in earlier posts, consuming the "fear" from human beings).
This explains why Jacob and MIB could not harm each other - - - because as spirits they are equals. They are not doomed by age, injury or death of a human being. They are immortal if they chose to be immortal. But if they chose to leave the island, then their spiritual existence would be compromised. The island, with its unusual magnetic energy, was the source of the spiritual well being of Jacob and MIB. But when that was disrupted, it endangered each of them.
In nature, all beings have some sense of survival. Crazy Mother's rampage against the Roman shipwreck survivors was probably to protect the spiritual energy field - - - her own survival. But just with Jacob's demise, MIB had altered the energy field with the FDW so Crazy Mother was venerable. She no longer wanted to live trapped on the island alone, so she submitted to her own death. Or so it would seem. Her spirit may have lived on in Jacob, who we were led to believe was a boy who became immortal when he became the guardian. Likewise, when his brother was killed but found his soul cast into the light cave, he turned into a spirit as well.
The idea that the island was populated with spirits and not immortal human beings helps explain the nature of the Jacob-MIB story. However, it does not explain the relationship with the island visitors and 815 survivors whose mortality was clearly displayed throughout the series.

HAWKING CONCEPTS
Stephen Hawking revealed a new theory at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He claims to have potentially solved the Information Paradox.
The paradox a conflict between the quantum mechanics and general relativity models that has vexed physicists for more than four decades. The Information Paradox arises from black holes - - - specifically what happens to information about the physical state of objects that fall into one.
The quantum mechanical model posits that the information remains intact while general relativity argues that it is indeed obliterated under the black holes immense gravitation. But Hawking has developed a third opinion: the information never actually makes it into the black hole. "I propose that the information is stored not in the interior of the black hole as one might expect, but on its boundary, the event horizon," he said.
Basically, Hawking argues that the information about particles sucked into the hole sit on the surface of the event horizon as holograms (2D afterimages of a 3D object).
"The idea is the super translations are a hologram of the ingoing particles," he told the crowd. "Thus they contain all the information that would otherwise be lost." What's more, that information can actually escape a black holes pull thanks to Hawking Radiation -- the concept that photons can sometimes be ejected from a black hole due to random quantum fluctuations.
Hawking further stated black holes are boundaries or gateways to another universe.
Unfortunate space travelers won’t be able to return to their own universe, according to Hawking. But they will be able to escape somewhere else, Hawking said.
Black holes in fact aren’t as “black” as people thought and could be a way of getting through to an alternative universe.
“The existence of alternative histories with black holes suggests this might be possible,” Hawking said, according his report. “The hole would need to be large and if it was rotating it might have a passage to another universe. But you couldn’t come back to our universe. So although I’m keen on space flight, I’m not going to try that.
Hawking’s proposal is an attempt to answer a problem that has tormented physicists about what happens to things when they go beyond the event horizon, where even light can’t get back. The information about the object has to be preserved, scientists believe, even if the thing itself is swallowed up — and that paradox has puzzled scientists for decades.
Now Hawking has proposed that the information is stored on the boundary, at the event horizon. That means that it never makes its way into the black hole, and so never needs to make its way out again either.
A paradox is a statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.
It seems absurd or self-contradictory matter changes its status but not "information" when caught in the event horizon of a black hole. It would seem then there is a different cosmic physical state when at the edge of the gravitational pull.
How would that work on organic objects. If the "information" is created to a holographic state of "being," then would the organic life forms still be "aware" of an existence? And if the "information" is stored on the event horizon, what actually transfers into the other universe?
We set this question out because of the paradox between the island time line and the sideways world (which was stated as a place of death.) But there was evidence in the Hatch that the countdown timer was a release mechanism to "escape" a place of death. It could be that the light source is the holographic projector of the human beings caught in the event horizon of a black hole. The "information" and matter of the human beings, in essence their personal life force, continues on trapped in a new reality which appears to be the island.
How the trapped information which must wind and rewind like a video projector can interact or change is unclear. If the information on transformation is set in its final stage, then the LOST universe is merely a "replay" of past events. If the information on transformation is not set, and can change through the interaction with other newly trapped information holograms, then the LOST universe is a hybrid reality.
The Hawking concept could lend some support to the fan theorists believing that the island was part of black hole engulfing our solar system. The island could have been the "cork" or electromagnetic counter to the black hole's gravitational pull. But that does not explain the parallel time lines between the island and the sideways worlds.
In a multiple layered theory of Hawking's concepts, he may be actually trying to explain what spiritualists would call each individual's life force or soul making its journey to another level of existence.

DARK MATTERS
Science knows about the element called dark matter. It can be observed by the gravitation pull of other objects. It makes up about a quarter of the universe. But science does not know what it really does.
Some researchers have tried to postulate that dark matter may attach itself to dying pulsars, in such a fashion that the density becomes so great that a black hole is created in the universe.
Scientists also believe that at the edge of any black hole, where the gravitational forces are the greatest, physics and notions of time and space are out of whack. Even a pinpoint black hole singularity could disrupt time and space.
These are known concepts. Using known science concepts is a good basis for science fiction.
LOST posters have often looked to black holes, dark matter and strange energy as a basis of trying to explain the underlying events in the series. The show's time travel events became quite problematic. Even the island's "re-sets" have inconsistent triggers which does not lead to a clear explanation.
Humans are curious; we want answers to mysteries.
What is the universe? What is our role in the universe? What is life? Is there something after life? Why can't we take all the chemicals found in a human body and mix up a human being in the lab?
To explain sporadic time events on the island, one must assume that the cork has to be shifted in some manner to release the built up energy. However, the Swan computer station was not tied directly the heart of the island. In fact, the cork was a large stone, not a mechanical device. So was the Swan station a pressure value to release energy used to keep the light source in check? And why would anyone need to do that anyway? The light source was on the island long before humans. Did the ancient Egyptians first harness its power, i.e. ability to time travel through space portals, in the quest to actually get the after life? That makes some sense in the realm of the burial temple rituals. But in order to create such a time riff, one must have the pull of a black hole singularity.
So it is possible that the island is the bridge between a dark matter pocket creating a black hole and the unique electromagnetic light source (the Big Bang so to speak) from which all life in the universe got its component parts. So is the island the location of a possible Second Big Bang?
We think the island was returned to balance when Jack died. So the existing universe would have been saved from destruction. But then again, a second parallel universe was created from the island which we called the sideways world - - - one in which Desmond was aware of on the island prior to his awakening in the sideways plane of existence. So the fabric of normal space time had to have been altered by the island time shifts. Then, was the sideways truly an after life experience, or merely an alternative dimension populated by the memories of the island castaways? A echo, a memory, a fiction created by the disruption of the known universe carried about on the nodes of dark matter.
