If Ben has been moved into the future, doesn’t it follow that the Island has also jumped into the future also.

— seedy

Lostpedia places the events of ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ on 31st December 2004. However, we know from ‘The Shape of Things to Come’ that Ben appears in Tunisia on September 22nd 2005.

Therefore it is apparent that pushing the ‘Frozen Donkey Wheel’ has sent Ben 10 months into the future! If Ben has been moved into the future, doesn’t it follow that the Island has also jumped into the future also.

In the Orchid orientation video Candle/Halliwax, claimed that they would send the rabbit 100ms into the future, and for a brief second the rabbit would seem to disappear. This is precisely what has happened to the Island. It has been shifted (considerably more than 100ms) into the future, and has disappeared to those in the present.

Therefore I think the Island has been moved in time to October 24th 2005. Whether it has also been moved in space - I don’t know.

    I agree…I bet when Ben sees Jack at Locke’s funeral is around then…Christian’s funeral was around July(Jack starts by saying “about 10 months ago I wrote my father’s eulogy at the sydney airport” …, so we place the time for about July)…then at Locke’s funeral he has that beard…which is obviously awhile after Christian’s funeral…

    Note that on Lostpedia…an exact date is not given for Christian’s funeral…

    I agree it is about 10 months later that Ben “time warped”…but has had to get everyone to come back…which is what he’s been trying to do for 3 years(Kate’s “3 year” mention) for the island to catch up to when it can be done…time warp wise…he first went to Sayid and got him…Sayid went to get Hurley…Jack went to get Kate…Locke went to see everyone…all this over a course of about 3 years…hope you got that…I’m Lost…lol

    Thanks for sharing…;)

    Thanks. Is there any way I can just delete! I got one of those ‘proxy’ messages first time so tried to resubmit and then they both appeared. Very frustrating!!
