Thought this was interesting, I can't take credit for it, but I thought it was worth posting. Its a bit long and I apologize for that, and it says who posted it and where at the bottom. Thanks
"This article is 100% my theory, i didnt reference anyone else or lostpedia or anything, this is a pretty long article but i hope you enjoy! : )
Wanna learn an something crazy?
ok remember the second episode of season 1? (Pilot-Part 2)
well thats the episode where sayid, boone, shannon, sawyer, charlie, and kate go to see if they can get a signal with there radio device, well during that scene where they transmission repeats the "interation" it ranges from 17294531 to 17294535, according to sayid the message is roughly 30 seconds long.
ok so check this:
i started with the first interation number i heard which was "17294531" that was the first day on the island "Day 1". on the last episode of season 3 jack and the gang go to the radio tower where they go to remove roussoue's message, i heard the interation number then, i listened to it at least 5 times just to make sure i wasnt making a mistake.
The number was "17550445"
so basically i was curius as to how long they spent on the island ( how long they spent until that day that turned off the distress signal) so heres how i figured it
17550445(day of eliminating distress) - 17294531 (day of arrival) = 255914 (amount of 30 second intervals spent on the island)
so i needed to get the amount of seconds spend so i multiplied that number by 30
hence the number 7677420 (amount of seconds)
now i have to get minutes 7677420 / 60 = 127957
now hours 127957 / 60 = 2132.61666...
now days 2132.61666... / 24
total days equals 88.9 days..... (88 days 21 hours 36 minutes)
now check this
i found out that the episode "Through the lookinglass" that that was day 93
i know what your thinking OMG!! thats different from your equation, could this be because of the 30 minute 18 second delay as the rocket was? lets see.....
could there be a 30 minute 18 second delay per day on the island as from the real world?
well lets see lets add 30 minutes and 18 seconds per day to the 88 days 21 hours and 36 minutes that i got from my equation, well i gotta turn the 88 days blah blah blah back into minutes then add 30 minutes times 88 days, i wont write that down i dont want to bore you so just one second.....
well i did it and it turns out at the time of removing the distress tape and the actual time at the mainland differs 1.85 days or 1 day 20 hours 22 minutes, now i am off by 3 days, but thats not because i did the equation wrong, its because the interation isnt exactly 30 seconds and because i do not know the exact hours o and minutes of day 93. also i rounded a lot to get my equations, if i had a better calculator that my computer i could most likely figure this out damn near exact.
now you wonder why did i bring this subject up? well for one this had to of meant that the producers knew that the time would be different at the end of season 3, but thats not really relevant to anything, my major point is is that all these people who have been having theorys about how the time is different must actually be somewhat true ( and im not talking about the island itselfs time difference) i mean all these theories of going into different time/ dimension realms or whatever, i mean this is one hell of a confuseing concept, but with this proven fact (from the show not real life lol) this could open up all possibilities for new episodes that we havent even thought about, i mean think about it its not really december 23rd on the island its december 18th, that means that there is two locations with different times (significant ones) i mean the longer someone stays on this island the farther and farther the time on the mainland goes ahead, ben has spent damn near his whole life on the island, hes probly a couple years younger than he would be if he was on the mainland.
could this time difference have something to do with why ben was born early? is it possible that he is the reason for time difference or something? or like he was meant to be on the island? and what about the supposably "Fake" plane? is it possible that one plane was split into two planes due to crossing over to another time plane?
i use to think that this was rediculous, that the creators couldnt do the whole " time dimension thing" but as soon as they did the whole "30 minute 18 second" delay, they opened up a whole new range of possibilities, do you think this is pretty accurate? do you think that the other plane could be a time split? does this time thing have anything to do with the pilot on the fake airplane not having his wedding ring on? like once he crossed the time zone he for some reason took it off? for who knows what reason?
what im saying is is that if this time split theory that i have going on is true (which it sure as hell looks like it) that one pilot on one plane had different actions that the other?
now that i think about it i might have it semi-backwards, ex. instead of ben being a couple years younger hes a couple years older
what other possibilities does this open up for the story of lost?
What do you think of this? does it sound reasonable/logical? or am i talking out my ass? because it sounds ok to me

Anyway... Horace (sp?) was in the previews right? said he's been dead for what 12, 13 years? even if its not him, hes DHARMA, thats for sure. But he died in the purge 12 or 13 years ago while Russeau (sp?) had been there for 16 years. Am I missing something or are there 4 years that should be accounted for? thoughts?
