Theories on the TV Show "Lost"  
IMHO 

Tags: Lost, TV, Show, ABC, Wednesday, Night, Series, Best, Television, Theory, Theories

These are some crazy theoris about the TV show "Lost." Have another one?

	Purgatory Theory - The island is purgatory and you have to battle your sins and overcome your fears before you can leave/die.
	Compound Name Theory - The character Alvar Hanso, CEO of the Hanso Foundation, is named after two actual scientists Hannes Alven and Hans Oersted, who predicted Earth would endure an electromagnetic catastrophe.
	Theorist Theory - John Locke's character can be compared with political theorist John Locke.
	Reincarnation Theory - Where do babies go when they die? Immaculate Conception? Boone died at the same time as the birth of baby Aaron.
	Angelic Dog Theory - It is suggested that yellow labs, like Walt’s dog, are clairvoyant and are guardian angels.
	Fateful Boys Theory - Bad things always surround the two boys Walt (who the others always state is special) and Aaron.
	Mystery Dad Theory - Claire (who is fatherless) or her boyfriend, Thomas, might be fathered by Alvar Hanso. The murals in the hatch closely resemble Thomas' artwork. Thomas may have lived in the hatch at some time.
	”Valenzetti Equation” Theory - The numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 from the Sri Lanka video), heiroglyphics and “Valenzetti Equation” have to do with the apocalyptic end of planet Earth. The numbers are an answer to the "Valenzetti Equation” which has something to do with how many days are left until the end of the world.
	Black Fog Theory - Similarities have been drawn between "The Smoke Monster" and "Tulpa” (a Tibetan mythical being of materialized thought, created by willpower that takes a physical form).
	King King Theory - Stephen King and “Lost” have a lot in common. The “Tulpa” theory was used in his story “It” and his novel "Carrie," was introduced as a book club selection for the Others. He is avid fan of the show and the creators of the show seem to be an avid fan of his.
	The Number 23 Theory - Ben is suffering a tumor on the 23rd vertebrate, a reference to The 23rd Psalm, gate #23 is where the survivors left from the Sydney airport and the 23rd is even the expiration date on the Apollo Candy bar. Since 2 divided by 3 = .666, which is also the sign of the devil, maybe the island is actually Hell?
	Greek Mythology Theory - Many things to do with “Lost” and the Hanso Foundation have some Greek references, including: the Apollo Candy, the Hydra station and the hatch as Pandora's Box.
	Egyptian Afterworld Theory - The hieroglyphs within the countdown timer can be translated as "to cause to die” and "underworld." The glyphs individually are known as "folded cloth," "curl," "fire drill," "vulture," and "stick."
	Amazing Grace Theory - The plot of the show is closely related to the lyrics of the song “Amazing Grace.” -- “The characters in 'Lost' are 'found,' the closer this serialized saga gets toward it's inevitable, natural, end."
	Latin Psychic Theory - The blast door map has Latin writing that can be translated as "He is made worse by his cure / medicine" and "It's a bad plan that can't be changed."
	Cancer Healer Theory - The island is the cure for cancer.
	"Six Degrees of Separation” Theory - We are all so much more closely related than we realize, but the connections the crash survivors share seem way beyond even that mind-bending idea. Synchronicity tells us that certain people and events have an affinity toward one another such that sometimes connections can be made that defy statistical probability.
	Cursed Numbers Theory – the numbers, being associated with some dire future event, have terrible things connected to them via the mechanism of synchronicity. In fact, the more dire this event is, the more terrible will be the things that follow the numbers about as omens of what is yet to come.
