Welcome to Gaia! ::

The island on Lost poses many questions about the Black Smoke, the Black Rock, and the experiments of Dharma. I have come to the conclusion that the island is in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. My reasons that lead me to this theory are listed below.

1. People that have gone into the Triangle have seen unnatural clouds above the surface of the water. Some scientists believe these are caused by electromagnetic activity. The Black Smoke on the island may be one of these clouds and is caused by the supermagnet that caused the plane to crash.

2. An airliner once entered the Triangle and disappeared from radar for ten minutes. When the plane landed, all of the passengers' watches were off by ten minutes. On the 3rd episode of season 4, Dan got a rocket from the ship. His clock he had with him and the clock that was sent along with the rocket were off by so many minutes/hours/seconds/whatever. My guess is they were supposed to be synchronized...

3. Many ships have gone missing in the Triangle. One of these might be the Black Rock. Also, on a freezeframe of when Ben and Locke are in Jacob's cabin, you can see a fighre wearing a sailor's suit. Is Jacob the ghost of the Black Rock's captain?

4. Many people think there are wormholes in the sky that lead to other dimensions in the Triangle. The plane went into a wormhole leading them to the Island. I think that the reason that that one person (Penny? Naomi?) saw the plane underwater with all of the bodies dead is because Ben didn't want anyone to discover the island, so he made the a replica plane complete with dead bodies of each and every passenger come out of the Black Box and place it off shore in our dimension.

5. When the hatch blew up, the island was on radar for a split second, meaning it wasn't on radar before (obviously) like the airliner mentioned in number 2.


NEW THEORY!

Benjamin is in the coffin in the first Flash Forward. That's why nobody went to the funeral, and why Kate said, "Why would I want to go to his funeral?"

EASTER EGG!

On one of the newer episode when they find Oceanic 815, if you call the number that the TV shows, you'll hear a fake Oceanic 815 Hotline thing.

Convincing evidence for the contrary...

No, its is the Pacific.

Spiral Out's image is of the Pacific.
The flight from Sydney to LAX is over the Pacific.

The Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic.

How can it be in the area stated by Pumkinbot and Spiral Out if they both state completely different areas?
Try paying attention to the show, and a little attention in geography class couldn't hurt either, from season one episode one we have known that the plane crashed on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

I have a really hard time believing that there could be a wormhole through the center of the earth that somehow didn't destroy the entire planet simply by existing.

Wormholes are also rather reputably known for having MASSIVE gravitational pull. Why would only one plane out of hundreds of planes that fly over the Pacific daily be pulled in?

Not to mention that the physical properties of the environment would also need to be pulled in, such as air, water, land, etc, thusly causing the earth to collapse upon itself and be destroyed as I just mentioned above.


While Dharma dabbled in disrupting space-time continuity they didn't do it very well, which was all the reason for concern with duplicate bunnies and Ben landing in the middle of the Sahara desert. Wormhole theory is really... a lot more complicated than what you see in cheesy scifi films, and I think that the writers know that.
