It could EASILY be 2+ years after coming home before Kate actually stands trial.

Not to say that I don't think there is a time thing going on with the island. Clearly the rocket and helicopter delay confirm what many of us have thought since the beginning--that Lost time and Real time are not the same. I just don't think that Aaron's apparent age (not to mention that it is pretty difficult for most people to determine the age of a toddler) is the best "proof".

It just seems like they're pretty new being back... still high profile without the hype dying down...

Yay thanks ^^

Also the Aaron age thing I believe is irrelevant, he could be any age there.

I also don't think that you'd age instantly after coming off the island. I really can't see that happening somehow.

Rockets that disappear in time... polar bears on a tropical island, giant monsters, smoke things, invisible people, ghosts, instant healing, time travel, seeing events into the future, someone becoming a teenager overnight, a machine that keeps the island from exploding, mothers who die carrying their unborn children... the list goes on and on. With all this strange stuff, why would "an island traveling slower in time" be so strange?

I dont think Aaron would age "instantly" after leaving the island. We have seen that Richard has been able to leave the island (Juliet centric episode), and he did not look older off the island compare how he looked on the island. If Aaron were to age "instantly" wouldnt Richard? We know Richard didnt, so i think its safe to assume Aaron wouldnt

Unless he was not gone as long in "Mainland" time.

I think time on and off the island are the same, but going to and from the island cause aging & time differences. The producers mentioned the aging difference when traveling to and from the island in a recent interview.

A lot of the stuff on lost makes no sense at all...

I think that Flashbacks are key. Faraday said that elec-mag means you can become unstuck in time - well lesser exposure could mean that you experience a watered-down time travel sensation similar to a flashback or a hallucination, posibly merging realtime with the past or even the future such as hurley seeing Dave.
For this theory to work it would need to obey the rule that time is a constant and we happen to be where we are at that particular time, but everything before and after now is pre-determinded, so fate is absolute. This would work with Desmond meeting with the ring shop owner, who mentioned course correction, because everything is pre-determined to happen as fate has dictated.
For the losties the flashbacks are just that - so its dismissable but for Desmond time travel is more powerful and more real so therefore its sends him over the edge.
If pre-determined fate is part of losts mythology it certainly would explain most things.
What do you think?
