What if lost is influenced by the theory of the multiverse,all they’re doing is following one reality to its end, but, because of the island its able to influence which path to take.When Michael pulled the trigger the island switched realities to favor its own needs.
Michael couldn’t kill himself because of a theory called quantum suicide.The island has some influence on quantum particles here’s the theory in full.
A man sits down before a gun, which is pointed at his head. This is no ordinary gun; it’s rigged to a machine that measures the spin of a quantum particle. Each time the trigger is pulled, the spin of the quantum particle — or quark — is measured. Depending on the measurement, the gun will either fire, or it won’t. If the quantum particle is measured as spinning in a clockwise motion, the gun will fire. If the quark is spinning counterclockwise, the gun won’t go off. There’ll only be a click.
Nervously, the man takes a breath and pulls the trigger. The gun clicks. He pulls the trigger again. Click. And again: click. The man will continue to pull the trigger again and again with the same result: The gun won’t fire. Although it’s functioning properly and loaded with bullets, no matter how many times he pulls the trigger, the gun will never fire. He’ll continue this process for eternity, becoming immortal.
Go back in time to the beginning of the experiment. The man pulls the trigger for the very first time, and the quark is now measured as spinning clockwise. The gun fires. The man is dead.
But, wait. The man already pulled the trigger the first time — and an infinite amount of times following that — and we already know the gun didn’t fire. How can the man be dead? The man is unaware, but he’s both alive and dead. Each time he pulls the trigger, the universe is split in two. It will continue to split, again and again, each time the trigger is pulled [source: Tegmark].
Also is Desmond able to see the future or is he able to see into other realities.When he saw Charlie die,was it another Charlie in another universe? Does Miles have this ability as well?And instead of duplicating people/or sending them forward in time does the Orchid station pull them from another universe? Is this how there’s two Locke’s, or should I say one Locke and one Bentham?

The Multiverse AKA Michael/Charlie/Anna lucia etc. aren’t dead..are they?

How can a white rabbit cloak a black swan?
I really hope this guy is legit because, if he’s not he’s a genius and, I’ve just spent the last day and a half figuring out the above statement?
Here’s what I found a on Wikipedia about the black swan :
In Nassim Nicholas Taleb's definition, a black swan is a large-impact, hard-to-predict, and rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations. Taleb regards many scientific discoveries as black swans—"undirected" and unpredicted. He gives the September 11, 2001 attacks as an example of a Black Swan event.
The term black swan comes from the ancient Western conception that 'All swans are white'. In that context, a black swan was a metaphor for something that could not exist. The 17th Century discovery of black swans in Australia metamorphosed the term to connote that the perceived impossibility actually came to pass.
Taleb notes that John Stuart Mill first used the black swan narrative to discuss falsification.
Before Taleb, those who dealt with the notion of improbable, like Hume, Mill and Popper, focused on the problem of induction in logic, specifically that of drawing general conclusions from specific observations. Taleb's Black Swan has a central and unique attribute: the high impact. His claim is that almost all consequential events in history come from the unexpected—while humans convince themselves that these events are explainable in hindsight.
One problem, labeled the Ludic fallacy by Taleb, is the belief that the unstructured randomness found in life resembles the structured randomness found in games. This stems from the assumption that the unexpected can be predicted by extrapolating from variations in statistics based on past observations, especially when these statistics are assumed to represent samples from a bell curve. Taleb notes that other functions are often more descriptive, such as the fractal, power law, or scalable distributions; awareness of these might help to temper expectations. Beyond this, he emphasizes that many events are simply without precedent, undercutting the basis of this sort of reasoning altogether. Taleb also argues for the use of counterfactual reasoning when considering risk.
Here’s what I found on Wikipedia about the white rabbit:
“Rabbit rabbit white rabbit” is a common superstition, held particularly among children. The most common modern version states that a person should say “rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit” upon waking on the first day of each new month, and on doing so will receive good luck for the remainder of that month.
The exact origin of the superstition is certainly unknown, though it has appeared in print at least as early as 1420 in England, where it is most commonly said to have originated, though some reports place its origins even earlier, into the 1200s. Today it has spread to most of the English-speaking countries of the world, although like all folklore, determining its exact area of distribution is difficult. This superstition is related to the broader belief in the rabbit or hare being a “lucky” animal, as exhibited in the practice of carrying a rabbit's foot for luck.
Some have also believed it is representing a jumping into the future and moving ahead with life and happiness.
So I did a little digging on jumping into the future and white rabbits, and came up with this, a book called ‘Theory of Nothing’ by Russell Standish. The book talks about multiple universes (Multiverse) and how they exist in reality. A lot of what he talks about is influenced by a man called Max Tegmark. Now this is where it gets interesting! Max Tegmark came up with the theory of the multiverse, which has a problem called the White Rabbit Paradox.
So where does this leave the statement: How can a white rabbit cloak a black swan?
Well a rough translation would be: How can multiple universes cover a rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations? Are Dharma using the looking glass to view all possible out comes and choosing the ones that suite best? To add weight to the argument here’s a translation of the Latin phrases in the e-mails
An argument to show that the result of a proposed measure will prove inconvenient or unsuited to circumstances.~ ab inconvenienti~ Choosing a different timeline having a detrimental effect ,but will be for a greater good
Through Adversity to the Stars ~Per Aspera Ad Astrum~ The multiverse, choosing the right one even though it might not seem like it at the time
"From what comes before ~ Since the beginning of time" ~Ab Aeterno, Aeterno Ab~ They‘ve been trying to do this since the beginning of time? Richard Alpert
