The Art of World-making: Lost and Time Travel
Stephen Hawking biographer Kristine Larsen summarizes canon and fan references to time travel before the epochal season 3 episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes," as a prelude to a thorough review of the scientific literature on time travel. Larsen discusses as well the paradoxes and restrictions on free will implied by time travel with reference to Desmond's philosophical alter ego. Her final speculations connect the hatch implosion, "Flashes," electromagnetic energy and various narrative anomolies in Lost, with reference to both the consistent and alternate history approaches to time travel.
Thanks so much for this article, I just posted it around the web and you should see some more activity around it. I was wondering if we could communicate through email as I am a HUGE LOST fan and a HUGE physics buff (I went to UCONN as well) so I wouldn't mind bouncing some ideas off of you.
Such as the equation on the blast door map, I can send you a link but I believe it has something to do with the B-model string theory and Dijkgraaf–Vafa prepotential, only because of the dv i saw at the end of th equation.
Thanks again!
