With the time difference on the island, do you think it is possible to have the same person on the island twice (at the same time)???

interesting thought!!!

Not both on the island at once. One off, one on is another matter.

anything is possible!!!!

Here's a theory: No.

maybe :)

Aw, Giovanni, that was mean! lol

Anyhow, this makes sense to me. Maybe that's how Walt was showing up in places he shouldn't have been...?

I just think you need to think this one through - it doesn't make logical sense. It's all about distortion of space-time. Imagine two cars going along a stretch of road in adjacent lanes, one faster than the other, but starting at the same point. Soon, the faster car ("on the island") is going to establish a lead over the other ("off the island"). If a passenger jumps out of the faster car into the other lane, it will take a while for the other car to catch up to where he jumped out (i.e. he'll be, in relation to the passengers of the slow car, further ahead in time in that lane than he was in the other). Equally, if someone jumps out of the slow car into the fast car's lane, then he'll have taken a step backwards in time relative to the passengers of the fast car. What you can't do, though, is be in two lanes at once, or be in the same lane at two different stages on the road.

Apply this to Lost: Doc Ray is killed off the island, and "changes lane" to the faster one as he floats to the island. He therefore appears "behind the car" - i.e. apparently at a point before it should have happened.

My theory is that the metaphorical "cars" are constantly changing speeds, so sometimes the island is faster, sometimes slower. But on average they have the same speed, so over a period of months they will be in similar positions.

ant thing can happen
