De schrijvers hebben nog niets bevestigd hoor!
oh toch wel hoor, bekijk deze link maar eens:
http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Access_Granted, Access Granted was 1 van de extra's op Blu-Ray versie van S3 waar Damon Lindelof en Carlton Cuse een paar antwoorden geven op bepaalde vragen uit Lost, en raad eens... dat wat hier verteld heb over de Swan-station staat er toch ook wel tussen zeker. En nergens iets over een tijdmachine alleen maar elektromagnetisme.
kgaat ier nog eens duidelijk posten:
Pushing the button
Answers
Carlton Cuse: Pushing the button was not a psychological experiment. It was actually literally necessary to trigger an electromagnetic discharge. If this electromagnetic discharge did not occur every 108 minutes, then the buildup of electromagnetic forces would actually ultimately create something that could conceivably end the world, and if Desmond had not turned the failsafe key you would not be watching this video right now at all.
Damon Lindelof: Wow. Kind of. Thats intense.
Carlton Cuse: Yeah.
Damon Lindelof: But, uh, uh...
Carlton Cuse: There is no mincing words on this topic.
Damon Lindelof: I think the idea of sort of trusting the machine, what if the power goes out, or what if the station gets taken over by the hostiles? You know, it absolutely had to be manned by human beings.
Carlton Cuse: What if the machine becomes sentient?
Damon Lindelof: Yeah, well, then you’ve got a terminator situation.
Carlton Cuse: That’s bad.
Damon Lindelof: Oh, I’ll just place HAL in charge of the button because hes not going to go crazy or anything.
Carlton Cuse: He doesn’t care. He doesn't care if the world blows up.
Damon Lindelof: Just name one science fiction story where the robot taking care of the fate of the world doesn’t go crazy.
Carlton Cuse: There isn’t one.
Damon Lindelof: There isn’t.
Carlton Cuse: None.
Damon Lindelof: Except for this one, because we have a guy down there.
Carlton Cuse: No robots.
Damon Lindelof: Who goes crazy. But you know at least a human being.
Carlton Cuse: Yeah.
Damon Lindelof: There is that.
Electromagnetic threat
Answers
Carlton Cuse: Is there still electromagnetism on the Island? I would say yes, there is. Is there electromagnetism that is going to lead to an imploding black hole, and the end of civilization as we know it? Perhaps not.
Damon Lindelof: Let's just say, theoretically, inside the Island there was this ball of electromagnetic energy. And, let's just say, there was a group of people–-we’ll call them the DHARMA Initiative--Sort of drilling around, and doing general futzing on the Island, and they accidentally drilled into this hole, and suddenly that entire ball of electromagnetism became untapped, so they built this Swan Station above it, in an effort that it wouldn’t get completely out of control. So, by plugging that hole, you don’t actually do away with all the electromagnetism. It's still there.
Carlton Cuse: It became tapped, actually.
Damon Lindelof: Yes. Tapped. that’s right.
Carlton Cuse: Not untapped, but then now its been re-corked. Lets just call it corked. Its been corked. Its not--it's... it's fine. Don’t worry about it.
Damon Lindelof: It's tapped.
Carlton Cuse: Don’t worry about it right now. You’re okay.
Damon Lindelof: I’ve had so much beer in my life that I should know what tapped and untapped is.
Carlton Cuse: Especially before this.
