Re: "Lost" Season 2 discussion thread...

Yeah, sometimes I feel like just skipping the season on TV and picking it up on DVD so I can watch them continuously.

Re: "Lost" Season 2 discussion thread...

Well, I just watched first season 2 episode after finishing the season 1 DVD. I can't believe I actually have to wait until Wednesday now, I just want to keep watching!! I'm not reallly sure what's going on now, with that guy that Jack met at the stadium being the same guy in the hatch. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

yeah...that was some crazy stuff....that and the guy who died in the ER who's name was Adam Rutherford...possibly Shannon's father....one thing I found interesting about Desmond was that he was present or in the vicinity when that girl regained feeling her legs...and its obvious that he was on the island when Locke regained feeling in his legs.

Your forgetting though,that Jack was also around when both regained walking ability. Coincidence??

I cant take credit for this but you all have to check it out. also look at the bar code on the first page and type in theislandiswaiting. this has to be the real story!!!

Omg, someone posted this on a LOST forum at myspace and it's really, really interesting! Of course, I'm not going to put 100% into the credibility since they don't include the name of the book or the origin of this. But they do say that it's something Roussau had said. If anybody knows of a way of determining the validity of this, I would be eternally grateful! The only bit of information the person gave for the source was that apparently the person who found it got it at a rare bookstore in paris.

I think this falls under the category of speculation, but for those of you who do not want to know what the numbers might mean, then don't read. Please keep in mind that there's a chance someone made this up.

Here's the article they posted:

I recently found an interesting natuarlly occuring thoery found in our world that states everyone has a mirror image somewhere in the world. You may have heard of this. Its called Roussau's genetic mirror theory, and I must say it is very interesting.
Roussau's genetic mirror theory says that everyone in the world has an exact twin somewhere, however according to the theory you never encounter this person, by laws of probablitly and other natuaral occuring phemnomen. Its the theory that was devised by a French Mathematician named Marseille Roussau in the year 1988. He used a series of numbers to explain his theory. Now I know you're not going to believe this but here goes.

4 8 15 16 23 42

Let me explain...

The 4 stands for 4 degrees of separation (not 6 or 7 as commonly stated.) Roussau believed that everyone in the world was connected by four different people. So in theory could meet yourself by using four different people connected to you. Example: Your brother's, boss's, neighbor nephew, knows your mirror. Hard to believe, I know but keep reading.

The 8 stands for the eight continent, or the only place in the world where you could meet your mirror.
He calculated it to be somewhere in the south pacific.
Now we know its not actually as large as the other contintents but its used figurtively because everyone in all 7 continents could meet there mirror on the 8th universal continent.

The 15 stands for the chances of you acually meeting yourself on this place, as in 15 out of 4,815,162,342.
Look at the second set "815." Ring any bells?
Interesting huh?

The 16 stands for the maximum amount of people that could encounter thier twin all at the same time. Think about the number of main characters.

The 23 is the number of years apart your twin and yourself are. You are not the same age as your twin.
By chance and probablity it takes 23 years exactly for the same genes that made you to be connected again to form another you.

The 42 stands for the maximimum number of years your twin and yourself can be alive at the same time.
However people do die at diffferent times so thats why everyone isn't dead at 75. For example my twin was born on Sept. 6 2003 b/c i was born on Spet. 6 1980.
Now that doesn't mean i will die in the year 2045, I could, but its not set in stone. My twin could die when he is 16, and then the whole thing starts over again.

This is all very complicated and I don't know how well I explained it but the connections with the show are too coinidental to not be real.

Roussau and his team (wife, included) went to the 8th continent. You can figure out how they died and why by the numbers and equations. It also fits with every character. You can predict when they will die. There are others on the island who are twins of the survivors, but have been there 23 years longer.

There is a book Roussau wrote 16 years ago in 1988 when he came up with the theory. Thats where I got it from.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So? What does everyone think? It seems farfetched to think that we all have a twin somewhere, but nonetheless, this is pretty facinating

I think this seems to make sense. When Boone was in the plane using the radio he said they were the survivors of crash 187, and then the guy he was talking to said no THEY were the survivors of crash 187....

Atleast I think thats what happened....

no...I didn't forget that...I just assumed that no other miracles had happened while Jack was around so it more likely had more to do with Desmond than Jack.

Re: "Lost" Season 2 discussion thread...

btw...that book by Marcel Roussau is a farce...it's a fabricated story.

I've never seen a show(except for 24) cause so much speculation...I love this show. lol

You sure?

I know there is such thing as Rousseau's theory though...or I could've sworn.

[Beantown]

Re: "Lost" Season 2 discussion thread...

Well there is a Rousseau's theory...but it's Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and I don't think it could be connected to Lost at all.

do you honestly think that there is a genitic mirror of yourself in the world?

and if this was true...don't think that these "twins" would have been discovered by now?

this is nothing more than a clever fabrication that somebody put a lot of thought into....its not coincidence that nobody can actually come up with an actual book about this.
