So I was pointed at an ambitious little Lost theory site the other day: http://www.timelooptheory.com/. While certainly a very thorough well thought out theory, I’m just not sure I can completely embrace it yet.
Ultimately I think that the creators actually have something more elegant and simple planed (no don’t ask me what, because I have no idea and I’m not going to speculate). I mean it seems like the years 1996, and 2007 are almost pulled out of thin air. Also, by the authors own admission, the theory involves a rather radical version of time traveling. While I certainly agree that the authors can create their fictional time-travel in anyway they want, some of the ideas seem a little contradictory and crazy even for the creators.
All in all it’s a great theory that real does it’s best to explain ALL the phenomenon on the show. I highly recommend reading it!
