"Gene Aging on Island ... sometimes, sometimes not" - RichPundit

Today, the NYTimes reported Elizabeth Blackburn as one of this year's "100 Most Influential People in the World". Dr. Blackburn is an incredible cell biologist from Australia. Specifically, she researches DNA [gene] telomeres and telomerase enzymes, and their relationship to aging, the diseases of old age, and cancer.

Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes [gene bundles]. She describes them as the tips of shoelaces ... if you lose the tip, the shoelaces fray. A Telomerase enzyme restores Telomeres, even extends them.

Over time [aging], Telomeres are naturally reduced during constant cell division. This has been shown to lead to disease, cancer, failed organs, and subsequent death. Increased Telomeres have been shown to reduce the incidence and intensity of age-related diseases, and even to extend life! Importantly to our TailSection Kibbutz, genes help to determine Telomeres and Telomerase levels.

Perhaps our Island, psyche connects with specific genes [e.g., specific generational family genomes] and senses undesirable aging [conscious/subconscious], analyzes reduced/limited Telomeres, then acts to activate genes [if present] to increase Telomeres leading to less disease/cancer, phenomenal healing, and looong life!

Also, it seems that this is consistent with: 1) organ harvesting, perhaps to replace very old organs in very old individuals who are otherwise healthy, 2) seemingly ageless Islanders, 3) phenomenal healing, 4) rabid gene therapy research/activity perhaps intended to insert needed genes into targeted genomes i.o.t. connect with our Island for Island benefits including healing and loong life, maybe prescience, and 5) SuperHuman capabilities.

Whew ... make sense to anyone? Maybe too technical, albeit established science and technology? Trust that this Post is at least interesting and fun 4u ... please always enjoy.

Happy Birthday USA! - RichPundit

"Quick Telomere Aging and LOST Father Genes Follow up" - RichPundit

The highly reputable British "Economist" newspaper (est. 1843) reports in their July 14th issue that recent research concludes that: "Children may inherit their lifespan from their fathers, not their mothers"! It was determined in a Lancaster, Pennsylvania study with about 1000 subjects that: children’s telomeres correlated in length with their father’s. The authors wrote that their study supports “a link between "telomere length" (TL) and aging and lifespan, and suggests a strong genetic influence ... “. Elizabeth Blackburn is among the study’s 10 distinguished authors.

HMmmm, LOST “Bad Dads” and ruthless gene therapy for Island benefits such as phenomenal healing, superhuman capabilities, and extended life? RichPundit

LOST Seasons 3/4: "The Meteor Crash" & LOST 2: "Meteor Home" - RichPundit

Had a LOST thought related to our thread when hiking with my Puppy early this morning. Perhaps it'll be fun and interest you:

an alien, ancient meteor crash forming our special Island could help explain much of what we know and speculate, as well as what may happen! This possible storyline would both challenge and provide much fun for both our talented LOST creators and TailSection camp, and fans everywhere. Also, this could lead to many years of LOST pleasures, as well as the associated LOST $$$'s for many ... free and legal capitalism generally benefits all including our shared environment.

LOST Seasons 3 & 4:

The Meteor Crash. A very loong time ago, a meteor crashes somewhere on our planet, and is cooked in a volcano. Over time, special properties of the meteor connect, grow and evolve with nature, particularly electromagnetism (EM) which enables physical action and the psyches of various lifeforms such as rugged adventurers (i.e., "Bad Dads") who stumble onto our Island. Our Island evolves a global capability to sense, analyze, and act on human psyches ... distance is a limiter. This results in for example, our ancient 4-Toe statue and the associated temple that perhaps is located at the meteor's power connection center. A key to our story is that our Island's capability is tuned to specific genes as it evolved from its contact with rugged adventurers. The capability, driven by positive feedback and its survival instinct, provides benefits to its Island captives/servants such as phenomenal healing, loong life, superhuman capabilities, prescience, and perhaps other pleasures.

The Black Rock. In the 1880's, rugged adventurers Captain Magnus Hanso, Richard Alpert, and their ruthless, sordid friends are in Papua New Guinea after mining gold and purchasing slaves. Island generated individual visions motivate them to seek our Island. They stumble upon a seedy character in a local pub who tells an incredible tale about a "Fountain of Youth", pleasure island. Captain Magnus & crew rabidly seek our island, surprisingly sailing east rather than their planned west. Magnus leaves a manifest with secret, Hanso family codes containing Island info including it's spectacular benefits and general location. The Black Rock nears our Island, and is irresistably pulled to its EM power center via an electromagnetic force acting on the gold-filled hull. The Black Rock survivors are now Island captives/servants with whom the Island further grows and evolves ... increasingly tuned to the local Island gene pool.

"The Temple" Dharma Station. Alvar Hanso learns of our Island after discovering and decoding his grandson's Papau ship's manifest. Alvar partners with several, and helps form the Dharma Initiative to research and exploit our Island, perhaps now a sentient Entity. Key Dharma stations like the Swan are located near the Black Rock, i.e., near our Island's EM power center. Much meteor mining and research is done. Dharma constructs "The Temple" station near the ancient 4-Toe temple. Island communication and benefits are researched and extracted via The Temple station.

LOST 2: Meteor's Home.

After season 4, our LOST fan base rapidly expands as many more understand and relish our LOST adventure with its highly appealing: romantic themes, Utopia, optimism, and other story messages. Capitalism works resulting in the creation of a LOST 2 adventure. Its story is about the alien world(s) from where the meteor originated ... their history, natives, lifestyle, science/technology, art/music, passions, religion, culture, adventures, etc..

Whew ... your thoughts? If interested, more to follow building on this possible storyline.

Trust this is fun for you ... it is very much fun for me, albeit work!

""Kind of Casimir Effect": Genes, Not Clones" - RichPundit

Thought I would try to weave some of our new ComicCon info from our Producers into our Forbidden Planet Thread.

First, as I posted on our Orchid thread, "The Orchid" clip from our Producers is a clip of the shooting of an orientation clip for a Dharma station called the Orchid, with our host wearing a lab coat with the Dharma Swan logo. I do sense a possible strong relationship between the Orchid's Casimir Effect and our Swan station involving energy fields, particularly electromagnetic.

The Casimir Effect is about the physical force generated thru the "virtual particles" between two objects, particularly "uncharged conductors". The force can be either attractive or repulsive. [Wiki]

This, of course, is esoteric and mostly boring. However, it may help to explain how our metallic "815" was split then crashed, and the gold filled Black Rock hull crashed onto our Island ... both perhaps intentionally thru special Island properties manifested as the Casimir Effect. Both the 815 and gold were uncharged conductors. I vaguely recall that Valenzetti, creator of our "Numbers", also created a particle gun.

The Casimir Effect is dependent on the shape (cavity) and position (distance) of the objects. In particular, the force is strongest as the objects are extremely close, and can be used to stabilize a worm hole to allow faster than light travel.

Some related thoughts for future posts:

• perhaps an ancient meteor emits virtual particles that can dominate energy fields, including Psyches, resulting in various effects and manifestations.
• faster than light travel can manifest as a time shift.
• genes/DNA/chromosomes are not simply linear, sequential molecules, but form 3-D cavities depending on their environments, e.g., salt, pH, temperature, etc.. Perhaps, these 3-D cavities can be tuned to the Island based on specific family gene pools and gene therapy.
• Maybe the rabbits aren't clones, but are used, well, because they breed like rabbits for fast-paced, generational genetic research and application. My bet is that they are male ("Bad Dad") rabbits.
• Perhaps the two number 15 rabbits we saw were genetically tuned to our Island. Dharma, using the Island's special properties, caused them to exist in the same time period thru a "kind of Casimir Effect" time shift, i.e., the same rabbit from different times existing at the same time. Touching would be catastrophic.

Sorry for my looong, somewhat rambling post ... will try to refine and build - RichPundit

Continuing my LOST obsession of weaving possible storylines using our Forbidden Planet thread:

Valenzetti. Think this website http://valenzettifoundation.org/ is mostly canon, and reveals many interesting elements that are consistent with what we know such as: 1) Valenzetti Equation assumes our "current rate of technology advancement" suggesting we need to accelerate our rate including thru special Island properties, 2) social engineering advocated by Alvar Hanso/DeGroots/Dharma, 3) created a particle gun that may explain our 815's mid-air split, 3) life extension/phenomenal healing/superhero capabilities/prescience, and 4) ancestor Rambaldi (1400's) who spoke many languages and created incredible now secret technologies/teachings, and was burned at the stake for heresy.

Genetic Connection/Evolution. Interesting that Ben said that: "we are the good ones", Locke brought Bad Dad Cooper to the Island, Locke was not ready to meet Jacob, and that Locke needed to kill Cooper to understand and enjoy Island wonders. Geographically, odd that the apparent Sacrificial Altar, Jacob, and the Black Rock were near each other, but that they were proceeding to "The Temple".

Perhaps the Others are island servants whose purpose is to help sustain and evolve our wondrous Island for the betterment of humanity, in competiton with a Bad Hanso+ alliance who are rabidly seeking personal gain. All have genetic links to Black Rockers who recently (1880) flooded our Island with a new gene pool. The Others are trying to help evolve our Island using Block Rock descendant genes that are better for humanity (i.e., 815's) while the Bad Hanso+ alliance are ruthlessly using gene therapy to achieve dominance with much collateral destruction and deaths. Perhaps our new cast member, Ken Leung, has a role as a Black Rocker in flashbacks as well as a very old current Island native and Paik gene ancestor.

The looong time Island process may be for the Island to choose as Jacob, the current best gene connection for communication/command of the local gene pool. As the gene pool and Island evolve to the next level, and the current Jacob/Ben repeatedly fail, the Island chooses a new Jacob/Ben. The new Jacob is sacrificed which purifies the current natives, who then proceed to The Temple for wonderous Island benefit like long life, healing, prescience, etc.. The "Psyche" of the new Jacob is absorbed by the Island, perhaps now a sentient Entity/Psyche Collective , and a new Ben annointed.

Perhaps, the Island sensed and commanded that Locke kill Cooper, resulting in Cooper becoming the new captive Jacob ("Help Meee"), and Locke replaces Ben as the Island leader. btw, I also believe that a Dharma "The Temple" station will be discovered, as well as an underground Island Social Utopia as designed and implemented by several mentioned above.

...

"Quick Thought: Rambaldi/Valenzetti/Black Rock/Hanso - RichPundit"

Island Gene Pool. Perhaps Valenzetti ancestor Rambaldi (1400's), who created secret technologies/philosophies including secret family codes, had a descendant on the Black Rock (1880's) adding to that Island-evolving gene pool.

He/she may have shared secret family codes with Captain Magnus Hanso and hence the Hanso family, b4 Papau. Papau is where Captain Hanso perhaps left a coded message in the Black Rock's manifest about our wondrous Island including its general location and means of access. btw, I discovered recently that even today, Papau has a loong, ancient history of mystery and magic. Alvar and Valenzetti discovered/accessed our Island using the secretly coded manifest, as well as vast other resources including deep-pocket taxpayer entities (e.g., UN/CIA/KGB).

[9/16 6pm add edit: also, while I guess it's ok for a fictional storyline, it seems unlikely that Valenzetti could develop an equation that predicts the demise of humanity for the UN/Hanso et al in less than a year. The quick timing suggests other help such as from ancestor Rambaldi and/or our Island.]

Perhaps our Island with its associated sentient entities, possibly even Guardians (e.g., DocArzt et al "Time Lords"), coupled with its evolving capabilities based on its connected gene pool: 1) senses the demise of humanity, 2) analyzes via Rambaldi/Valenzetti+, and 3) acts by connecting with psyches within specific gene pools (e.g., Black Rock, 815's) to change our mysterious numbers to prolonge humanity. This is an ancient, evolving Island process, and a very good thing!

imho, this is consistent, robust support for our Forbidden Planet thread: our Island clearly seems to sense, analyze, and act on specific psyches for at least evolving sustenance needs, and perhaps much more like saving humanity - RichPundit

usurpation (the overthrow of a leader)
imprisonment and freedom

Quick Thought: The Numbers. As everyone knows, the frequent appearance and mantras of our numbers is one of our core LOST mysteries. We have been methodically led to believe that they are related to the UN/Alvar Hanso-initiated Valenzetti equation that was developed to predict the demise of Humanity.

Think that most obsessed LOST fans, including me, have assumed that they are the coefficients of each equation variable that Dharma was created and designed to change. Also, for example, thought that the loong time broadcast of our numbers was to communicate whether any were successfully changed. Of course, our seemingly crazy but extraordinarily talented Rousseau changed the broadcast to a repeating distress message, pethaps purposefully to help hide our Island by blocking the access numbers.

[My guess is that Rousseau has SuperHero-like talent that is Island-related and mostly unobserved by us thus far ... S4/S5?

HMmmm, a Rousseau Ruse?

Many curious and inconsistent behaviours including obvious lies for her stated 16 years, and she seems well-known to Dharma Boy Ben and the other Others. Perhaps Rousseau represents Walt's: "they're not who they appear to be". Perhaps a powerful group separate or broken from the Others and of very different character ... perhaps with the "rescue" Boat, perhaps with seemingly good guy Alvar Hanso, perhaps Island-controlled Jacob's Master(s). Also, historically Rousseau-ism first led to the French Revolution, which then evolved to the Terror ... "Totalitarian Democracy" (NYSun 11/29/07). HMmm, seems consistent with BFSkinner and DeGroot Utopia philosophies and practices, hence also likely Dharma behaviours and subsequent results.]

We do have some canon evidence that our numbers are a command code to either stop or initiate or access some action or process, and not the coefficients of a Valenzetti equation. I vaguely recall our Producers uncomfortably saying that we may never know the precise reason for choosing those particular numbers, leaving open that their function(s) will be revealed. Perhaps there are multiple purposes/functions for our Numbers such as FailSafe, communication system access, and entering secure locations (e.g., our Island, S4: "The Temple" hatch, etc.).

The frequent appearances and mantras of our numbers may be the result of intentional BFSkinner-type behavioural training led by the DeGroots ("Dharma Initiative") to ensure that the numbers are always remembered, and never LOST, for various Island-centered purposes.

Tx for my LOST obsession therapy! Namaste - RichPundit

[RichPundit]

If I may, I would like to update and build on our Forbidden Planet Theory thread. I’ve only clumsily edited it since October, and of course, our exciting "pee-in-my-pants" Jan 31^st date is almost here! My intention is to speculatively continue to paint our LOST forest with some new colour and brush stroke trees. For my LOST therapy, I most likely will continue to edit this post rather than new postings, and include an edit date at the bottom. I promise to be less clumsy.


Island Sentient Entity. In times loong past, an alien entity crashes into the ocean and continues deeply into the Earth’s molten, outer core. For survival, this sentient entity has extreme special capabilities to quickly adapt to its environment by sensing, analyzing, and acting on it. Thus, it is constantly evolving to survive and flourish including integrating with its environment. The electric currents in our liquid core are created by the Earth’s rotation, and they produce the Earth’s Magnetic Field. Animals, particularly birds, can detect and navigate using this field. This field extends deeply into space, and protects our planet from harmful charged particles in the solar wind. It may have guided the perhaps already magnetically-sensitive alien entity to our planet. The alien entity cooks and integrates with our Earth's outer core, then erupts forming our special Island, and continues uniquely evolving with its new environment including thru connections with lifeforms.


Zero-point Energy/Casimir Effect. As “ManchesterUTD” recently posted, the Orchid video states that our “Island has a kind of Casimir Effect property”, and this may be related to Zero-point energy (ZPE). ZPE is about the free energy everywhere that may be extracted, yielding an unlimited energy supply that can be used to do almost anything. This unlimited energy can either attract (e.g., Black Rock) or repel/disrupt (e.g., split 815). ZPE may even twist/bend/flatten the space-time continuum which may manifest as invisibility, time travel, location displacement, and prescient visions. Interestingly, the ZPE of hydrogen has already been determined which may explain the existence of heavy water on our Island, i.e., to extract ZPE for various purposes such as Island power and rabbit time/location experiments. Our Island sentient entity may have the ability to tap ZPE with which it is capable to do unique acts like globally sensing, analyzing, and acting on Human Psyches. Capabilities that can manifest long life, healing, and the perceived granting of "Magic Box" wishes. Over time, our entity connected with ancient civilizations, the Black Rock, Amelia Earhart, Dharma, 815, and many more individuals/groups. Our sentient entity selectively evolved with them, narrowly based on their unique genes, particularly Bad Dad.


Sentient Entity “Monster”. We all have many favourite Monster tales perhaps including some of mine: Frankenstein, The Day the Earth Stood Still, King Kong, and of course, Forbidden Planet. Plus perhaps, JJ Abrams’ Cloverfield. Interestingly, they all have similar resulting human behaviours such that each "Monster" is perceived to be extraordinarily good by some and bad by others resulting in rabidly competing individuals and groups, i.e., our ubiquitous LOST yin-yang, black/white, and blends thereof theme. Remember the old, charismatic, blind, violin-playing man in the cozy, isolated cottage in Frankenstein versus the extremely frightened pitchfork/torch group, as well as Frankenstein’s joyous scientist creator? Interestingly, each of these three individuals/groups perceive themselves as "the good ones", and are ruthless towards achieving their unique objectives. The other tales have similar good/bad groups. Cloverfield has an opening Defense Department scene revealing a Dharma bagua logo, and perhaps the terrifying flying decapitated Liberty head portends the finding of the remains of 4-Toe inland. Also perhaps similarly to our LOST "Monster" ZPE power, in Forbidden Planet, scientist Morbius explains that each of the large number of Krell power meters represents power consumption 10x’s the preceding meter, and most of the meters pegged when his Psyche Monster was active, i.e., fantastical incredible power.


"Monster" Behaviours. My sense is that Jin's Golf Mobi behaviours may be reflecting our Island Monster's behaviours. Please note the powerful expression of emotion: "I'm so alone. I'm so alone." Also the associated anger, frustration, and even hate that it [or he or she (Mom)] can't "be happy", and in particular, where no one can speak its language. It seeks its kind, companionship, and perhaps freedom ("handcuff"), so it is highly motivated to connect, analyze, and act with Psyches to communicate and relate. Perhaps it desperately craves escape as it is Island trapped, as well as ruthlessly threatened and attacked by various groups for various reasons, perhaps unknowingly to some groups. Perhaps our Island Entity is a Mom ... or soon to be. And, it is increasingly frustrated and angered by the resulting extreme annoyance of those with whom it ineptly tries to connect, even with its generous "Magic Box" manifestations.


Island Discovery: Black Rock/Hanso+ Genes/Vile Vortices: TBD
Rabidly Competing Island Groups/Individuals: TBD

Hurley/Walt's Comic - "Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1 & #2 (1997)": TBD
Lostpedia Synopsis: "Green Lantern and Flash attacked and defeated a crashed alien known as "Alien X", without checking to see if it was hostile. Realizing their mistake, they hid the ship where it could not be found. Alien X, who had developed cancer as a result of testing at a government lab, escaped fifteen years later. It was not a coincidence when the original Green Lantern and Flash disappeared at the same time. Their wives called on the modern Green Lantern and Flash, who found the ship, but it was blown up by Alien X. The story continues in Faster Friends #2."

Time Loop/Course Correction/Collective Psyche: TBD


Since it is impossible to speculate an overall theory about our complex and bizarre six season mystery adventure in only a short post, I will stop here and perhaps post additional speculation soon. I have much more related speculation about: barefooting/sneakers, genes, several rabid/ruthless competing groups, the Black Rock, powerful critically important Ben (Juliet Envelope Mobi), Jacob, implants, Bad Dads, polar bears, underwater (La Mer/Wash Away tunes), Dharma technology, healing/loong life (Ponce de Leone, Shambala), Vile Vortices/Portals, Room 23, our Island Monster, Desmond, observed odd behaviours/events, etc+, and with specific explanatory details. Whew!

fyi, I have already posted much of my disjointed speculation elsewhere on our jeweled TTS site, as well as a bit on a welcoming, intelligent UK Spoiler-Free site.

As always, tx very much for listening and supporting my LOST therapy. Luvs ya all everybody!

Walt/Hurley Comic: “Faster Friends 1&2“ (1997):

Background: Scored a pristine copy of Part 1 at our local Appleton “Power House Comics” (PHC) store yesterday. Adept store manager Mick Gagan surprisingly quickly found it for me, and will get Part 2 for me today. This is the Hurley comic that Walt was reading showing a secretly hidden alien spaceship and a polar bear.

Think that this comic book is a key LOST tale catalyst/seed/clue consistent with several elements of our visible LOST mystery adventure, and perhaps interestingly, it is also consistent with several elements of our speculative Forbidden Planet thread.

I previously posted the Lostpedia synopsis for this comic on this thread. The comic is also revealed in the S1 “LOST Genesis” DVD track.

[As a personal digression, one of my two bestest friends [UWMadison; Texas] gifted S1-3 DVDs to me for Christmas. He is now pissed at me for "insulting" him. I kindly suggested sharing with his incredible girlfriend Heather, our hard-working and talented TTSer HLyon’s artistic posting of the “Delicate” vid by Damien Rice [Sun = "a delicate flower"] on our struggling Valentine’s Day “General/LOST Music” thread. But, with my thoughtless comment that it is not Tool or Radiohead-like, so he wouldn’t enjoy. Ok, I’m an Idiot!].

Also, one of my bestest Jersey friends, Kuzy, has successfully $invested$ in comics for many years, mostly specializing in Spiderman. I’m squirreling away as many “Fastest Friends” as I can afford.

Key Story Points (Part 1):

• + Storms/Rain happen when major events occur and/or decisions are made.
  + An Alien crashes onto Earth over 50 years ago “by accident”.
  + Ruthless government/military leaders recruit Superheroes to attack and capture the Alien citing National Security.
  + No one cares to understand the Alien’s true name, hence “Alien X”.
  + Alien X claims: “mine is a gentle race … unless provoked”.
  + Alien X’s lifespan is typically extraordinarily loong.
  + Alien X is thus very patient.
  + Our government/military diss our Superheroes.
  + Old Superheroes are ashamed and regret their thoughtless attack and capture of the Alien, and in particular, not trying to understand and communicate.
  + After capture, Alien X patiently withholds important information and capabilities thinking that the capture and experiments are insignificant risks.
  + Alien X can sense, analyze, and act on human psyches in diverse ways including forcing unwanted behaviours like mercenary and even suicide!
  + There are two generations of Superheroes, old and young.
  + The big ego Superheroes are highly competitive, and don’t work well together.
  + Alien X becomes fatally diseased from government experiments.
  + Alien X escapes and captures old Superheroes to find the spaceship secretly hidden by them from the military/gov't, and of course, to avenge his demise.
  + Alien X’s Spaceship is hidden in the Arctic.
  + Young Superheroes are recruited to save old Superheroes and stop Alien X.
  + The Alien X crisises cause the Superheroes to work well together, and become closer friends.
  + The polar bear is an insignificant character.
  + Tension builds as the Young Superheroes seem to need to kill the Old Superheroes under Alien X’s psyche control, to defeat Alien X.
  + Part 1 ends: Alien X mysteriously completes two tasks: 1) sent “a kind of invitation” into space, and 2) destroys spaceship & says “too late for all of us”.

Key Story Points (Part 2): WOW!!! ... TBD soon

WOW, this is very cool! If you are interested, I will post Part 2 as soon as I can, perhaps Thursday or Friday. Also btw, I purchased but have not yet read another comic: “New Avengers Annual No. 2” which has a panel of an “Oceanic” truck behind a crashed car. Plus, Mick of Power House mentioned a comic that shows a cover mug shot of an arrested Catwoman holding our LOST numbers, but I haven't seen it yet to confirm.

As always, tx very much for listening and supporting my LOST therapy!
