Benjamin Linus & Time Travel

[christianjbrooks]

Several small points that build up to a larger theory: 1. Jeff Jensen over at EW made the comment that Mittelos' aviation division was called Herarat which is an anagram for Earhart, as in Amelia Earhart. 2. In the Bible, Rachel & Jacob had a son named Benjamin. 3. Juliet's sister, Rachel, named her son Julian (according to Ben). 4. Julian can be derived from the name Benjamin Linus (or rather, Benjamin Linus can be created using the letters from the name Julian). Here's my thought: What if Rachel is Ben's mother? If the island exists in some time warp, where time stand stills...that would mean that all points in time in the universe are equal on the Lost island. This would explain how the Others can so easily gain so much information about the castaways. This would explain Desmond's supposed time travelling and psychic abilities. It could explain Walt's age difference if he ever returned. It would be a neat tie-in to Earhart's disappearance. What do you think?

Awesome. I really like this idea.
