Last night’s episode that aired on 4/24/08 contained lots of new questions and answers.
Could Ben’s willingness to sacrifice his daughter and the fact that he always appears in control be because he knows he is essentially immortal? Immortality sounds ridiculous but seems much more feasible after I read the above theory.
It’s a scientific theory which has been popularized by LOST fans, myself included, to explain various time related dilemnas since last year. If you enjoyed that theory, I think you may find these others interesting as well. All involve or make reference to Novikov’s Self Consistency Principle as it pertains to LOST and are organized by date.
