What's Hot: 4x12: Dan's Orchid Notes
What's Hot: 4x12: Dan's Orchid Notes
In "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1", Dan finds out that Keamy is headed toward the Orchid Station. The news sets off alarm bells in Dan's head, as he realized the backup plan is being initiated. Dan looks up some notes he made on the Orchid in his book, which we get a quick glimpse out. Formulas surround the logo, and some writing, which includes "space like factors", "time like factors" and "Possible!". Get a larger view of the notes after the jump.

It looks like most of the equations deal with electrical or magnetic properties, but this is from 2 semesters of college physics.

Some of you brainiacs explain to the rest of us how this whole wormhole idea works into the Lost story. Is there a connection with a separate universe? Or at least a separate dimension of our own?
looks like a worm hole or time warp spiral
Interesting link!
Blue shift experienced by observers inside the gravitational potential = purple sky???
HW -- excellent post. I think you are onto something. The Schwarzschild radius, in the calculation, is represented by "rs", which are also (maybe) the characters in the tattoo on Jack's back....
That's the logo that Ben has on his suit, on 4x09, when he appears on the desert! I'm from Spain, sorry about my english... hehe

Eddington-Finklestein coordinates referenced in the top photo yield interesting results when googled. I found this link: http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/schwp.html to have some really exciting potential in that it deals not only with explanations for distortions in time and space but also perceptions of these effects from observers at various points in and around our orchid event-how time will move on/off the island once the orchid is 'activated'. Also, the model for the Schwarzchild black hole looks very similar to the design in the center of the orchid logo's spiral. The spiral itself is not only evocative of the Twighlight Zone but also has symmetry with the concept of nested spheres-also a component of the Schwarzchild Metric. Excellent research by the writers-I would love to see an explanation for the source of power for this massive theoretical event, magnetic or otherwise, but I guess that's where the suspension of disbelief has to come in. This fun stuff makes all the over-acting by Jack and Kate worth it!
that logo looks "swirly" like a typhoon swirley....
Yeah but he's a little crazy...
I majored in physics at University, knew many other physicists and engineers. My wife was a biochem major. I have NEVER met a scientist that wrote such BIG numbers ;-) Gee.. its almost as if the prop people WANT us to see that he's doing 'science' :-D
