Australia has been the key in proving teleportation is possible

— Obscure

No earth-shattering theory here, just some unrelated thoughts.

In 4.9 some us think we saw the first evidence of the possibility of teleportation in Lost (Ben appearing in different geographic locations looking as if he has ‘appeared there’ rather than travelled there by any vehicle).

Many of us have picked up on the ‘Australia is key’ line (regarding the game Risk) and have formulated theories as to the possible significance of that line. I don’t want to get over-excited about that line. It has clearly been put in for a purpose, if only to throw some bait to us clue-hunters. Personally I think the Risk game was put in to reinforce the idea of being at war and battling over territories.

However…

I just googled ‘teleporting’ and was amazed to find the top entry was about researchers who recently proved the possibility of teleportation. They teleported a beam of light from one place to another. They were Australian researchers. This could be a coincidence, or this could be the ‘Australian key’ referred to? Australia has been key in proving that teleportation is possible.

Also, I googled Dean Moriarty and Professor Moriarty in order to brush up on my knowledge of both and found that Professor Moriarty, Holmes’s nemesis, the ‘Napoleon of Crime’, used an air-gun which was concealed in a retractable cane. Dean Moriarty had a drunk ‘bum’ of a father. Any similarities with Ben?

On another wildcard note- I wonder whether the name ‘Ben’ is a reference to ‘Ben Gunn’, the old man marooned on an island for many years in ‘Treasure Island’. And Rousseau has always made me think of not only the philosopher but also ‘Crusoe’, paticularly her husband’s name: Robert Rousseau (Robinson Crusoe). It would be no surprise to me if the writers wanted to refer to those obvious literary texts about adventures on remote islands.

Go on- tear me to shreds! I’m bracing myself…
