Grand Unification Theory (work in progress)

This weekend, I finaly caught up with the Lost Experiance game. For those of you that don't know, it is an alternate reality game that fills you into off island details on Lost. I'm a huge fan of the show so this is something that really interests me. Anywho, by being up to date, now I can state my theory on what is happening on Lost, one that unifies between the game and the show. If you haven't done the game you may be a bit "lost" (pardon the pun) especialy with some of the terms, but www.lostpedia.com can fill in those details. So here it goes, I'll start from the begining.

After the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Mutual Assured Destruction that almost came about due to it, world leaders searched for a way to help save humanity. The UN, commisioned Enzo Valenzetti, a gifted mathematician to assist in this problem. He noticed a mathematical link to world events, natural phenomenon, societal problems, and yes the decline of world governments. He came up with a formula that predicted the fall of governments past, and future. Ultimatley it predicted the end of humanity as we know it. The UN dismissised this formula and predictions as a hoax.

Enter Alvar Hanso. He had heard about the Valenzetti Equasion, and took it seriously. Using his vast wealth and the clout of his influencial philantropic orginization, The Hanso Foundation, he decided to do something about it, to save humanity. Enter the Dharma Inititive.

Hanso procured a uncharted, and isolated isand in the south pacific. This Island was to serve as a prototype and testing facility for his plan to save the world. Utilizing powerful electromagnetic fields, they found a way to keep the island protected from outside influences, as well as keeping it hidden. Stations on the island were used for various testing. Psycological testing of isolation, pressure, and other factors. There was genetic testing involving viruses and vaccenes. There was even experiments involving society, and their ability to live together in the face of desolation, and perhaps even outworldly "monsters". Idealy the point of the Dharma Inititive was to change the factors leading to destruction, and failing that, finding a way to survive. After enough data was collected, the project was called home.

At home they were able to use the data to come up with several key inovations. Amongst these was a way to extend life, and change the genetic structure of people. Wether this was to truely help mandkind survive the end, or to create a society that would be obedient to Hanso, or a combination of both is yet to be seen. However the testing methods have been questionable, using remote vilages in africa, knowing full well that many would die in the treatment. The plan may include sending out a virus, perhaps lacing food, such as "Apollo Chocolate Bars" and others with it. People would have to come to Hanso for the vaccene, a vaccene that would change their genetic code.

Back to the island. Although the Dharma Inititive was called back, some people still remained on the island, unbeknownst to the Hanso Foundation. Over time, due to the location and magnetic fields, people have crashed on the island. Some of the original ones formed a society that we know as "the others" They are still carrying out the original Dharma Inititive protocol, not knowing that it is over. Due to an error in controling the magnetic field by Desmond, Oceanic Flight 815, crashed. The "others" thinking that perhaps the world has already ended, are taking those from the flight whom they consider worthy to restart the human population. They think they are still doing their job.

However over time the factors determining the end of the world in the Valenzetti Equation, as trasmitted on the island, breifly changed, showing it is posible to avoid the end. This is posibly due to the intervention of the members of Flight 815. The Hanso foundation is now sending a crew to investigate what is going on on the island. Rachel Blake, whose mother perhaps died due to Hanso testing, found this out and is trying to uncover the truth.

So all in all, the Hanso Foundation is not nessasarily evil, they have good intentions in saving the world, but their methods are to be questioned. The "others" also are not evil, they are only doing what they have been taught to do. They too believe they are doing their part insaving the world. The members of Oceanic 815 that crashed, they are the key to changing the factors in the Valenzetti Equation, they just don't know it yet.

So thats it. It's still a work in progress, but I believe it unites all the factors in play. Only time will tell if I am right.
