Chronology protection conjecture

I know someone wrote a theory on blackholes being the source of power at the Swan and the Orchid but I can’t find it.  I know it had something to do with how time travel works on the island.

What I did find while perusing the wikipedia was this, In the Lost episode “The Constant,” a blackboard belonging to character Daniel Faraday contains the phrase “Kerr might work! Can it evade Hawking’s chronology protection conjecture?”  “It seems that there is a Chronology Protection Agency which prevents the appearance of closed timelike curves and so makes the universe safe for historians.”  quote by Stephen Hawking.  Closed timelike curves are are one thing that is theorized  may make time travel to the past possible. It begins and ends at the same place in time. 

I can’t help but thinking this is very relevant to the show. I’m not as good with explaining complex ideas as others on here so I was wondering what other people thought. Could MIB and Jacob be part of the CPC?

One thought on “Chronology protection conjecture

  1. One of the names given to beings that are part of the cpc is Quantum Angels which I thought was pretty cool.
    Kerr is relevant as whoever wrote the theory I couldn’t find describes stuff that happens in the Event Horizon and Ergosphere of blackholes.
