transport consciousness in time
Do you remember when Faraday demonstrated to Desmond that he could transport a rat’s consciousness forward in time. well that rat was actually called Eloise, so maybe he could of transported Eloise Hawkings consciousness in time to remember events in the future or past and this is why she knows what is going to happen with desmond and the island etc. also there are many other ‘losties’ who had there consciouness moved through time to remember certain events in the future or past.
let me explain a little more with some examples:
Jack- when jack met desmond on the plane in the alternate time line, jack remembered desmond from somewhere in his memory because his consciousness has moved to a memory of desmond, but desmonds consciousness had not been moved to a memory of jack.
Libby – when she meets Hirley, libby knows who hurley because her consciousness has moved to a memory of hirley. hirley only later remembers later because it must not be a very clear memory and it was short.
kate – when kate sees jack when in the car at the airport in the alternative timeline, again her consciousness has moved to a memory of jack.
charles widmore and faraday – they also may have had there consciousness moved to the future and thats why they know furture events and stuff.
just one more thought – the machine that desmond went in and fired with elctromagnetism, this machine could move people consciousness in time and thats why he got flashes during the experience.
it would be cool to find out that Faraday is responsible for all this stuff (I guess he is since the bomb was his idea) but maybe he was experimenting with all these people..but how does this tie in to the Jacob/MIB eternal battle?
oh wow, never thought of that one! I love it; Eloise the rat, had her consciousness moved to the future, which in the future was tought by Daniel how to solve the maze; then solved the maze present time.
Eloise the person, had her consciousness moved to the future, which in the future was tought by Daniel how to save the world; then began saving the world present time..
chrischapman1992, i have read some very good and original ideas from people lately but this is one of the best. (i hope more people read it and comment).
so to put into practice with regards to the current timeline and alternate universe:
the alternate timeline becomes the correct timeline. this is the timeline where the Losties are able to complete/finish/end/leave the game or maze they are in. the reason they are able to know what to do is due to their consciences flashing to 2007 (the future/original timeline) and learning how to complete the game in the universe that they are in (2004).
i tell you something, the more i think about this, the more is makes sense and is by far one of the most plausible and simple theories i have read.
BRILLIANT!!!
Very cool!
How would the whole Eloise saying “for the first time in a long time, I don’t know what’s going to happen next” thing fit in?
Daniel only showed her certain things?
ahh good point DrMrWiz..
@DrMrWiz
I remember trying to understand that line in the show before.. She said that after she realized Des survived his gunshot wound, which was after she told the Aijira crew (Jack, Kate, and Sun) to board the Aijira flight..
So maybe getting the Aijira crew on that flight successfully changed the future, such as Des surviving(?).
maybe Eloise does not know what will happen next because that event in the future has not been predertermined and could be an event that can be changed by key characters in the show. But who could it be?
faraday could have sent her consciousness forward to a certain point in time (up to des getting shot) but not past that point so she doesnt know what will happen after that.
