About the electromagnet
Oct 18 2006, 1:44 PM EDT
My theory on the electromagnet is that every 108 minutes when they push the button, an electromagnetic field is released. This field puts interference from any radio or gps devices so they cannot transmit. This is why the plane's radio and instrumentation went out.

Now we found out a little about Desmond, we knew that he was on a race around the world, sponsored or ran by the father of his old girlfriend. There's no doubt that the sailboat on which he crashed had GPS. At the end of the second season we see two men apparently in the Arctic and they found a signal. They then called a phone that was answered by desmond's girlfriend. They told her that they found it. This all happened after the key was turned to shut off the electromaget generator.

After the key was turned we saw that the sky turned a weird color and there was a deafening noise. That could have been the electrmagnetic field disengaging.

In the 2nd episode of the third season, we see that The Others have access to the outside world. I thought that this would ruin my theory, but then I remembered the wire that went out into the ocean. It lead into a hole in the ground. Maybe it allows outside communication to a hatch that The Others have control of.

Does this make sense? What are proofs for or against this theory?

yes but how come when the button was not pushed, a huge magnetic field was released causing the plane to tear in two? Does it even need to be the number put into the computer? Or is it just that those number were just random? The Orientation video doesnt mention the numbers but refers to "the code".
Plus, to what does the number aid by just beening put into some computer? The main idea of the numbers is that they can "predict" what and when the "end of the world" will come about .

If you add up the valenzteei equation which has to be enter ie. 'the code' 4. 8. 15. 16. 23. 42. all add up to 108 the number of minutes on the timer in the hatch. What the connection is yet unkown but it leaves u guessing but shows there still is one Do you find this valuable?

Since we know that the numbers are the inputs to the Valenzetti Equation, and the Dharma Initiative were working with the Valenzetti Equation a lot, it makes sense to me that when they had to pick a code for the energy release, they chose something that they would all remember.
